"Dynamo" - "Kryvbas" 4:0

In the central match of the 10th round of the UPL, Kryvbas met the reigning champion, Dynamo, in Kyiv. We note the return to the starting lineup after Kemkin was injured. Also, for the first time since the recovery, Dibango came out in the first minutes.

First half

Dynamo started the game more actively. Our team could not catch the ball for a long time. The hosts turned their territorial advantage into a quick goal in the 15th minute. Popov won the opponent's position after a pass from the corner of the field and accurately headed it into the far corner - 1:0.

Later, another set piece caused problems for Kryvbas. Pikhalyonok performed a high pass and none of our defenders had time to cover Karavayev's shot - 2:0. The Kryvbas did not have time to recover as they conceded for the third time. Kabaev and Yarmolenko played a wall in our penalty area – Andriy scored into an empty net – 3:0.

In the first half, Kryvbas also had a lot of good attacks, but Dynamo’s defense didn’t make a single mistake. Mendoza, Zaderaka, Tverdokhlib, Paraco played actively, but there was not enough finishing shot to upset Nescheret at least once before the break.

Second half

The second half started with a good shot from mid-range by Bar Lin – Nescheret saved Dynamo. Then came the game on opposing courses. And yet, the Kyiv team looked sharper in front. Kabaev hit the crossbar with a powerful shot from afar, and Karavaev hit the near post.

Later, Maya made his official debut for Kryvbas. He actively entered the game, but unfortunately, neither he nor his partners were able to create problems for the Dynamo defense until the end of the game. Although there were good attempts. Instead, the hosts had a few more half-moments after quick attacks, and already in the compensation time, Guerrero, after a counterattack, scored a low shot exactly into the far corner. We are losing 0:4.
