As for "Spartak", they tried to play open football with the Kyivans and the latter allowed them to, but did not let them score.

Kyiv's "Dynamo" spent the last minutes of the match as if at training and scored four more goals. In the 66th minute, after a header flick-on by Milevskyi, Verpakovskis adjusted the ball into the net, having previously wasted several one-on-one chances. In the 72nd minute, Aliyev made the score 5:0, playing a one-two with Milevskyi past several defenders and accurately shooting into the corner of the net.
Aliyev helped Rodrigo score the sixth goal. The young Dynamo player crossed into the penalty area, and Rodrigo, playing ahead of the goalkeeper, sent the ball into the net with a header - 6:0.
The seventh goal into "Spartak's" net also flew in to the accompaniment of Aliyev, who again sent the ball into the penalty area, and Petkovych deflected it into the far corner of Melnychuk's net. 7:0 - a beautiful and confident victory for Kyiv's "Dynamo".
