In Buryak's starting lineup, there was no place for Rebrov, who was not even on the bench. The reason is unknown. In attack, alongside Shatskikh, Buryak again placed Chesnauskis, who in recent years played as a forward only for the Lithuania national team...
Overall, Buryak failed to surprise his colleague from "Thun" with either the lineup, tactical literacy, or the game itself.
Throughout the entire first half, only one moment created by the Dynamo players can be noted. Chernat with a long pass in the first minute of the match sent Shatskikh one-on-one with the goalkeeper, who shot past the goal...
Subsequently, the Swiss were in no way inferior to "Dynamo" and even managed to outrun the Kyivans, pressing across the entire field and successfully involving the flanks. In the 38th minute, Shovkovskyi got involved, pulling a strong shot from Hodzic from the corner.
A few minutes before the end of the first 45 minutes, Chernat fired from about 20 meters, but his shot went over the crossbar. Then Shatskikh fell in the hosts' penalty area, but the referee did not award a penalty. For the hosts, Gerber distinguished himself with a shot that went just wide of the post.
In the second half, "Dynamo" again seemed to be waiting for something and was again inactive in attack. The Swiss were more persistent in the game, more mobile, but also did not create chances near Shovkovskyi's goal. Egerter dangerously shot into the top corner from about 35 meters, but Shovkovskyi was in place.
Buryak's substitutions did not particularly liven up the game. Kleber practically walked around the field, and the half-chances he had were wasted. Rincon was more active, but also not at his level. In the 69th minute, the "zero" Rotan was replaced by Belkevich, but even his experience was not enough for "Dynamo" to score a goal. Although the Belarusian had a chance, but after his shot the ball, deflecting off a "Thun" defender, flew just wide of the post.
That was the end of the chances for the Kyivans. And "Thun" coach Schonenberger proved to be a better visionary than Buryak, bringing on three minutes before the end of the game a player who managed to become the author of the only goal in this match.
When the first of the three added minutes to regular time was already underway and the "people's team of Ukraine" was practically walking on foot across the field, "Thun" "fired." Adriano crossed into "Dynamo's" penalty area, where Bernardini won the battle against Nesmachnyi and with a header into the corner of Shovkovskyi's goal put his team ahead.
A few seconds later, Egerter should have made the score 2:0, but having gone one-on-one, he failed to beat Shovkovskyi. "Dynamo" finished the match with 10 men after Rodrigo went in with a straight leg on Gelson and received a red card...
