Last weekend witnessed a notable incident in a Ukrainian championship match, where Dinamo Kiev’s captain Gusiev received medical attention from an opposing player—a commendable display of sportsmanship.
Shifting focus to the field, Dynamo Kiev clinched a victory this Sunday against Metalist Kharkiv with a scoreline of 4-2, despite playing with a numerical disadvantage.
The scoring commenced with Garmash netting for Kiev in the 9th minute, only for Edmar to equalize for Kharkiv. However, just before halftime, Moroccan midfielder Younès Belhanda notched his 6th goal of the season for Dynamo Kiev. In the second half, Kharkiv managed to draw level again, but goals from Yarmolenko and Mbokani secured a comfortable win for Dynamo. This marks Mbokani’s 12th goal of the season for the Congolese player.
In the current standings, Dynamo Kiev holds the 3rd position with 42 points, trailing the leader Shakhtar Donetsk by 5 points.
