"Kryvbas" - "Dynamo" 5:6

26 April 2026

In the central match of the 25th round of the UPL, Kryvbas hosted Dynamo. For the first time this season, Mulyk started at the top of the starting lineup, while Paraco remained on the bench.

First half

The debut of the match was left to the guests, although the hosts scored first. Pikhalyonok and Ponomarenko wasted two 100% chances in turn. You don't score... At the 13th minute, Kryvbas escaped into a counterattack: Mendoza decided to shoot from outside the penalty area. It turned out powerfully, plus a mistake by Nescheret - it was 1:0! But the opponent quickly fought back: Ponomarenko, after a mistake by Kemkin, scored a touch past the goalkeeper - 1:1.

The second half of the half was completely left to Kryvbas. Mendoza escaped one-on-one with Nescheret in the 29th minute and easily beat the opponent - 2:1. But that's not all: in the 34th minute, Gleiker managed a powerful shot into the far corner from mid-range - 3:1! Dynamo went on the attack, but the red and whites scored again. Already in the compensation time, the Venezuelan in a similar manner again accurately shot into the far corner from outside the penalty area - 4:1! Just bravo, team.

Second half

But, unfortunately, the break went in the opponent's favor. After all, he turned everything upside down in a fairly short time. Mykhavko flew into the far corner - 4:2, Voloshyn closed the cross from the flank - 4:3, Buyalsky was given the opportunity to shoot from 15 meters - 4:4. And that was all in the 68th minute. But the Kryvyi Rih team did not stop: in the 72nd minute, an exemplary counterattack took place: Zaderaka went one-on-one with the goalkeeper and hit the far nine - 5:4! What a game!

Dynamo threw all their strength forward and managed to not only fight back in the end, but also snatch victory. Yarmolenko, who came on as a substitute, scored a double. We are giving way in a super spectacular match. Thank you for the game, Kryvbas.
