In the confrontation with the Greek club, a considerable period of time was spent, which the Kyivans spent without official matches. Only in the final part of the meeting Oleksandr Hatskevich's wards found their game and in the end managed to escape defeat.

After a fairly calm start, during which the opponents looked at each other, the hosts managed a successful attack. The first transfer of the ball to the penalty area of ​​Kyiv led to a goal in their goal. Fortunis, having won the fight against Mykolenko, threw the ball under the blow of Hassan, who did not interfere with Kendzor. 1: 0. Soon the same Fortunis forgave Dynamo, intercepting the transfer of Kendzora to Boyko, but not being able to hit the goal.  

Subsequently, the events took place mostly in the middle of the field. The players of "Olympiacos" acted in the attack, it seemed, more sharply, while the considerable lack of passes in the performance of the white and blue for a long time did not allow them to approach the goal of Jose Sa. However, Kyivites had only one created opportunity to equalize the score. Trihodovka Tsygankov - Kendzora - Buyalsky ended with a perfect shot by Vitaly from the penalty spot. 1: 1. But the team still took a break at the expense of the Greeks. Diaz successfully caught the ball on his foot after the rebound, beating Boyko from a long distance.     

In the second half, Dynamo gradually adjusted the game in attack and created a number of goal opportunities. It is worth noting the moment in the 70th minute, when only a great reaction by Jose Sa saved "Olympiacos" after a powerful shot by Tsygankov in the near corner. And a few minutes before the end Verbych after a discount Tsygankov set the final score - 2: 2.

The match was attended by players who Andriy Shevchenko called for the last training camp of the national team in 2018: Boyko, Burda, Mykolenko, Buyalsky (goal), Shaparenko (replaced in the 82nd minute), Tsygankov (goal pass).
