Vsevolod Bayrashevskyi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 9th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Valentyn Zhurka having to interfere. Fedir Musiyko took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Illja Lyakh, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 20 minutes into the match, Rakowets Metalist's goal looked a bit too open when Vsevolod Bayrashevskyi came free, but Valentyn Zhurka reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

After 29 played minutes, Rakowets Metalist's Valeriy Koryak shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Fedir Musiyko came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Rakowets Metalist reached it. A hard shot by Valeriy Koryak from long distance, 35 minutes into the match, got Fedir Musiyko's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side.
