In the 35th minute the guests created their clearest situation yet. Vitaly Buyalsky was completely exposed in the penalty area and intercepted a cross from the right, but Mark-Andre ter Stegen showed an excellent reflection and shot.
Shortly after, Ansu Fati tried a lowering shot, but went far from the door.
The hosts started attacking again and were able to have a comfortable advantage at half-time as Pedri and Ansu Fati made dangerous shots, but again Nescheret was in the right place to save his team.

After his performance, Thomas Gigiora caught the ball with his head in the Barça gate, but the goal was disallowed after the ball completely left the outline of the field in the execution of the corner.
In minute 52 again the guests had the opportunity to score. Gerson Rodríguez brought a great way down the right into the penalty area from Buyalsky, who fired a shot, but again Ter Stegen was in place.

Three minutes after the goal, the Dynamo team were able to return to the game after Tsigankov was taken out alone against Ter Stegen, but they slowed down and allowed Gervan’s point guard to block him.
Fifteen minutes before the end of the game, Clement Langle and Francisco Trinkao appeared on the field to replace Sergio Busquets and Ansu Fati.
Seconds after the substitutions, the Ukrainians returned a goal. The ball was centered down the left into the penalty area, where substitute Benjamin Verbic passed Langle, who came in seconds behind and caught the ball, but Ter Stegen scored. However, he fell at the feet of Tsigankov, who scored on an empty net – 2: 1.
Ten minutes before the end of the match, Usman Dembele fired a bomb shot from about 25 meters, but once again Nescheret made a single save.
