    Final word -
    It was a game of two equal teams, just as predicted. Dynamo was successful in crucial moments of the game, took three leads and blocked any serious attempt by home team in final period. Although teams are separated by one goal only and there are not significant differences in stats – one could easily get a feeling that Dynamo players simply did their job. Donbass did not underperformed, but guests were simply slightly better.
