After a significant defeat in the first match Dynamo's chances of overcoming the English barrier seemed illusory. The hopes of a large audience of fans for a positive result at least in a separate match did not come true.

On the eve of the game, it became known that due to health problems, Dynamo will not be helped by Verbych, who did not play in London due to disqualification. The absence of the injured Sol was known in advance, as well as the disqualification of Buyalsky. As a left midfielder, the coaches of Kyiv preferred Sidkle, and a place on the edge of the attack was given to Garmash, who came on as a substitute in the first match. Kadar, who recovered from injury, appeared in the starting lineup instead of Shabanov, who played a week ago.   

Dynamo's plans for revenge were significantly complicated in the 5th minute, when the guests managed to score a quick goal. Fat won the positional fight of the defenders of the white and blue after a corner and opened the scoring at close range.    

The high individual skill of the Londoners allowed them to confidently control the ball and maintain a calm pace of the game, which completely suited them. The Kyivans did not have any skilful actions in defense or attacking combinations. Once Garmash managed to hit the goal of Arrisabalaga and even beat him, but in this episode was recorded offside.

Chelsea's advantage was embodied in the next goals scored. First, Marcos Alonso made an accurate pass behind the defenders of "Dynamo" on the move of Fat, and the world champion casually made a double. And then the Spaniard scored himself, realizing the transfer of Kante.

At the beginning of the second half Dynamo found the strength to add, and finally at the gates of the guests began to appear moments. In one of the attacks, Sydorchuk struck dangerous blows twice: the first kicked the goalkeeper, and the second came into the post. But Chelsea's response proved to be more effective: another standard, this time a free kick, - and again a great game of Fat ahead. The final score was set by Hudson-Odoi, who won the race at Kendzor after pruning Sidcley.

Dynamo players took part in the match. who got calls Andriy Shevchenko at the match selection of Euro-2020 with Portugal and Luxembourg: Boyko, Burda, Mykolenko (yellow card), Sidorchuk (replaced by 65 minutes), Shepelev (replaced by 87 minutes), Tsygankov, Shaparenko.
