Babenko’s crazy goal, humiliation in Prague and a difficult match against an outsider… Definitely, Dnipro-1 is not easy at the start of the season. As a result, Oleksandr Kucher’s wards lost their first points in the Premier League on Sunday.
It was clear that it would not be easy in the match against Minai. Suffice it to say that the Dnipro-1 coaching staff did not have enough central defenders ready to play. As a result, Kravets took the vacancy. On the other hand, “Minaj” spent the whole match cautiously, as if afraid to make a mistake in defense, which would not be easy to correct later. Not surprisingly, the first half went almost without moments. I remember, perhaps, the episode in which Bill hit the post, after which the ball ricocheted from Kravchuk almost flew into the hosts’ goal.
In the debut of the second half, the guests were in the minority – Sarapiy was removed for a foul near his own penalty area. It had no effect on the nature of the game. Maybe Dnipro-1 attacked less often, but in general football didn’t become more open and it seemed that everything would end in a goalless draw. But no. In the 89th minute, “Minaj” carried out a quick attack – Gechev hung from the right flank, and Tverdokhleb sent the ball into the goal of the guests on the second attempt.
However, Dnipro-1 again scored in stoppage time. In the 93rd minute, Soldier knocked down Mingo in his penalty area, who converted the penalty himself – 1:1.
