Match transcript >>>
Dinamo started this match very actively, and already in the 2nd minute of the meeting created the first scoring chance: Andrievsky sent a free-kick to the Shkendia goal, where Garmash shot straight away from 7 meters, but the goalkeeper of the Macedonian team managed to react.
However, despite such a “hot” start, closer to the 15th minute, the game leveled off and noticeably calmed down. For some time it passed under the sign of Dynamo’s positional advantage, but closer to the middle of the half, Shkendia began to seize the initiative.
And soon the Macedonians not only took full advantage, but also created several dangerous moments at the gates of Dynamo. And in two cases, the people of Kiev were on the verge of a missed goal. So, in the 25th minute of the match, the attack of Shkendia ended with a header from a deadly distance without any interference, but he managed to miss the target, thereby forgiving Dynamo for the failure in defense. And five minutes after the Macedonians gave a corner from the right flank, Beitulai hit with a header, the ball hit the crossbar, bounced on Ramadani, who was playing rebounds, but shot above the gate.
At the end of the half, Dynamo began to act more confidently in defense, and it seemed that things were heading for a “dry” result of the first half, however, in the 45th minute, Shkendia “brought” a goal to itself: Zakhov knocked the ball right at Garmash, who instantly assessed the situation, gave a pass to the free Lonwijk, who opened the scoring 1:0 with a shot from the penalty area line. And that was the end of the first half.
The second half of the reporting match took place in a more chaotic manner. The Macedonians were the first to create a scoring chance after the break: in the 56th minute of the meeting, Velia beat Hasani in the central zone in touch, punched from 10 meters without interference, and Dynamo rescued Neshcheret by kicking the ball. Seven minutes later, Shkendia was again close to a goal – it was Hasani who struck a cannon shot from 20 meters, and the ball almost struck the crossbar of the Dynamo goal.
In the second half of the second half, the people of Kiev managed to seize the positional advantage, but did not create sharpness at the gates of Shkendia. As a result, the match ended with a minimal victory of Mircea Lucescu’s team with a score of 1:0.
Let’s add that Dynamo will hold its next sparring at the training camp in Turkey next Saturday, February 11th. This time, the opponents of Kiev will be another representative of North Macedonia – Sileks (the meeting starts at 16:00 Kyiv time).
