Review of the match UPL Shakhtar - Dynamo

The first 4 minutes of the derby were marked by two dangerous moments at the rivals' goal. Considering the fact that Shakhtar plays at home arena, the miners showed an advantage in possession of the ball. At the 16th minute of the meeting, Krivtsov shot from a long distance. Buschan was able to repel a dangerous, strong blow.

De Pena instantly tried to answer. But he was out of the game. At the 18th minute of the meeting, the Kievites responded with a counterattack. We entered the miners' goal 3 v 3. But we could not finish with a shot on goal.

At 21 and 22 minutes Shepelev falls twice. But Monzul does not react and does not assign a free kick to the Pitmen's goal. Starting from the 18th minute, Dynamo gradually took the ball and began to play the first number. BUT to no avail. In the middle of the first half, the advantage in possession of the ball was 55 to 45.

On the 25th minute Matvienko received a yellow card for a dangerous tackle against Besedin. On the 27th minute Bondar fouls near the penalty area line and receives a warning. Again, a foul on Besedin. This is already the 2nd yellow for Shakhtar defenders. Andreevsky approached the ball, but much higher than the goal.

On the 32nd minute Kejiora fouls Spenanenko and gets his card. In response, Dynamo organized a counterattack. Andrievsky flies into the penalty area. Antonio touches the opponent's leg. Monzul points to the 11-meter mark. After viewing the VAR, the decision is not changed. De Pena approaches the ball and confidently scores a penalty. Dynamo opens the score for the match.

At 41 minutes, Maicon gets yellow for talking. Monzul added only 1 minute to the first half, although there were many stops.

At the beginning of the second half, Tete enters the field instead of Marcos Antonio. As at the beginning of the first half, Shakhtar started with ball control, but without much progress.

On the 52nd minute Mykolenko shoots past Shakhtar's goal. After 30 seconds, De Pena shoots over the gate. It should be noted that Dynamo successfully plays on defense, meeting an opponent on his field. All directions overlap. The tent could not move quickly from defense to attack.

On 61 minutes Besedin shoots on target, but into Trubin's hands. On the 64th minute Fernando came out instead of Solomon.

On 68 minutes Kryvtsov shoots after a corner kick. But the ball flew above the gate after a rebound. The second corner was served without aggravation at the opponent's goal.

In the 71st minute, Dynamo had a double substitution. Rodriguez comes out instead of De Pena. Shaparenko appears on the field instead of Andrievsky. Shakhtar made a substitution at the same time. Dentinho replaced Marlos.

At the 74th minute of the meeting, after watching the VAR, Manzul did not assign a 11-meter kick to Dynamo's goal. It is worth noting that Rodriguez may have fouled Shakhtar's player. At the same time, Tsygankov entered the field. He changes Karavaev. At the 75th minute, the Kievite was already trying to look for a moment to fall in the penalty area. Monzul did not respond.

At the 79th minute, instead of Buyalsky, Garmash comes out. At 82 minutes Sudakov entered the field. HE changes Maicon. On the 87th minute Zabarny takes out the ball. But right into Popov's hand. Monzul, oddly enough, assigns a free kick in the opposite direction. She did not even look through the VAR and did not assign a clean 11-meter to the Dynamo goal, believing that the ball had accidentally hit her hand.

On 90 + 1 Kryvtsov gets a yellow card. Despite the fact that 8 substitutions were made and the match was repeatedly stopped, Monzul adds only 3 minutes to the main time. Result of the Shakhtar - Dynamo match: 0 - 1.

Thus, Dynamo is gaining 3 points and the gap from Shakhtar becomes unattainable. The Kiev team has 10 points more than the Pitmen.
