When Pavlo Akymenko came up free with the goalie in the 16th minute, the Manchester City fans jumped to their feet.

Pavlo Akymenko had several of the krocodiles's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 23 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal.

After a defensive mix-up in krocodiles's zone, Pavlo Akymenko stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Denys Yesin came out of the goal and Pavlo Akymenko tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 36th minute, Pavlo Akymenko left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net.
