Garmas scored from the foul point. Santana replaced Show. Seconds later, Despodov was fouled, but Ludogorets did not receive the right to a penalty kick. After picking up the pace, Ludogorets was close to making the score even, but the woodwork intervened with Jonathan’s goal attempt.

Dynamo scored a second goal seconds later when Vitinho did not make a mistake with his left foot. Ikoko collided with Garmas next, and both players received yellow cards.

Padt saved a goal when the second half began. Shaparenko tried to score and succeeded, adding a third goal.

Plastun missed the gate minutes later, and Despodov did the same from a 25-meter distance. Marin scored in the 68^th minute, but the goal was canceled because of an offside. Dynamo added the fourth goal in the 74^th minute.

Ten minutes before the end, Shaparenko fouled Despodov in the penalty zone, resulting in a penalty kick for Ludogorets. Despodov scored, shaping the final 1:4 score.
