He became one man. Dynamo Kyiv defeated Alexandria with a minimum score

Dynamo entered matchday 7 of the Premier League against Oleksandriya knowing already that Shakhtar and Vorskla had shared points, so the Kiev fans had a special motivation to win and become the sole leader. But it was not easy to do it, because between the Champions League games and the championship they only have three days off.

Mircea Lucescu stayed true to his principles, and after the European Cup match with Juventus (0: 2) he made four planned substitutions. Zabarny, Supryaga, Shaparenko and Karavaev remained on the bench, they were replaced by Popov, Sirota, Rodrigesh and Garmash. For the latter, this match was the first after returning from a loan in Turkey.

And Vladimir Sharan, who in the last round was forced to join the lineup, was satisfied with his actions and made only three changes to the starting lineup. Due to the expulsion, Luchkevich did not play in the last round, he was replaced by Zaderaka. Pankiv returned to goal and Oleksandriya’s coach released Artem Sitalo as the sole striker.

Dynamo opened the scoring already in the second 50 of the match. Buyalsky won a free kick, which the hosts played quickly: Mikolenko beat the defender on the backswing and hung him from the left flank into the goalkeeper’s room, where Denis Popov jumped over everyone else and sent the ball into the visiting goal. with the head. Taking the lead, the Kievists did not slow down and had several more chances to score a quick second goal, but Buyalsky was twice unlucky: first, Pankiv played reliably and in the second inning, Vitaly simply lacked precision.

Alexandria didn’t do much in the attack. The only more or less good moment of the first half was with Sitalo in the 40th minute, but after Artem hit the ball, the ball caught the net from behind. The teams went into halftime with a slight lead from the hosts on the scoreboard, the guests stayed in the game and could still count on points.

Dynamo continued to control the game in the second half. It was clear that both teams lacked freshness: those in Kiev were mainly due to the busy schedule, and the Alexandrians after the quarantine were not in the best physical condition. In this sense, both teams committed many fouls, for which the main referee Maksim Kozyryatskiy distributed well-deserved “mustard strips” to the right and left.

In the 70th minute, Pankiv saved Oleksandriya from the second goal conceded. First, the goalkeeper got ahead of substitute Supryaga, whom Shaparenko took out on the date with a penetrating pass, and kicked the ball in the fall. But Verbic was on the rebound, and Yuri, a moment before the kick, managed to reach the ball with his hand. In that episode, the guard at the gate was almost injured, but fortunately neither the help of doctors nor the departure of Vyacheslav Borisenko was needed.

The dangers to the goal of Sharan’s team were created not only by the substitutes, but also by Viktor Tsygankov. The leader of the “white-blue” could not be distinguished by Pankiv himself, who obviously did not only rest on self-isolation. And 4 minutes before the end of regulation time, Viktor brought Supryaga into shock position, but after the forward hit the ball he flew close to the far post.

And the Dynamo’s injury time was developing in the minority. Shaparenko played rough in subcategory against Bezborodko and nearly injured his opponent. The referee first showed a yellow card, but then used the video assistant’s clue, went to watch the video replay, and eventually changed his mind to a harsher sentence, knocking the midfielder off the field.

And in the numerical majority, Alexandria managed to create her best moment in the match. Kovalets from the right wing hung in the penalty area over Stetskov, hit his head on goal, but Buschan parried the ball, and then Popov, who was next to him, took the ball out of the danger zone.

1-0 – Dynamo takes three points and becomes the sole leader of the championship. Already next Wednesday, the Kiev fans will play one of the most important European Cup matches of this season, Mircea Lucescu’s team in Budapest will face Sergei Rebrov’s Ferencvaros.
