Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Zakhar Checher during the 2nd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 2nd minute, Zakhar Checher hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 3 minutes into the match, F.C. VICTORIA's Mykhaylo Stezhkovyi sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Gustavo Boldrini narrowly saved just below the crossbar. If Zakhar Severyn had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Yaroslav Tistyk fell near the penalty area in the 9th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored F.C. VICTORIA's protests and gave Yaroslav Tistyk a yellow card for diving instead. After some careless play in the FC Galicia Lviv defense, Álvaro Dias kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Gustavo Boldrini. The FC Galicia Lviv fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Gustavo Boldrini should have stopped the shot. Yaroslav Tistyk recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 14th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 18 minutes into the match, Yaroslav Tistyk notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of FC Galicia Lviv's Gustavo Boldrini. Gustavo Boldrini was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Gustavo Boldrini showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Yaroslav Tistyk in the 23rd minute of the match. With a little luck, F.C. VICTORIA's Denis Mascovescu got control of the ball when Svyatoslav Krutyvus tried to sneak it across the goal line. Vyacheslav Androsenko kicked well hit freekick during the 25th minute of the match. In the 26th minute of the match Mykhaylo Stezhkovyi shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Gustavo Boldrini showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Álvaro Dias in the 37th minute of play forced FC Galicia Lviv's goalkeeper Gustavo Boldrini to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 38th minute Yaroslav Tistyk shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gustavo Boldrini saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a rather tough play, F.C. VICTORIA's Álvaro Dias got a free kick in the 40th minute. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-2 lead.

VICTORIA's goalkeeper Denis Mascovescu, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 63 minutes into the match, F.C. VICTORIA's goal looked a bit too open when Myroslav Akymenko came free, but Denis Mascovescu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 64 minutes of play, FC Galicia Lviv's Myroslav Akymenko made it 2-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Denis Mascovescu was left in no man's land by his defense there! FC Galicia Lviv's defense didn't have a chance, in the 71st minute, when Yaroslav Tistyk scored to the left of an out of position Gustavo Boldrini, making the score, 2-3. Álvaro Dias sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 75th minute Zakhar Severyn shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Denis Mascovescu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The supporters of F.C. VICTORIA booed when FC Galicia Lviv was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 77 match minutes in a wonderful position. Svyatoslav Krutyvus didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a rather tough play, F.C. VICTORIA's Artur Kovalchuk got a free kick in the 79th minute. Ruslan Golaydo was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 80th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal.
