Liusin’s 14th-minute finish was the only goal as Dynamo’s youth team beat Kryvbas 1-0 away at the Hirnyk training base in Kryvyi Rih on 24.04.2026, a result that left the visitors holding a slim lead in Matchday 25 of the National League U19.
The goal came after a low cross from Hubenko on the right wing found Liusin at the far post, and the forward made no mistake. That strike was the decisive moment of a game Dynamo might have buried early: later in the first half Liusin dribbled past three defenders only to smash the ball against the crossbar, and near half time Fedorenko went one-on-one with the goalkeeper before Kryvbas defenders cleared the danger.
The match statistics on the scoreboard read 1-0, but the story of the game was in the missed chances. In the 67th minute Lobko raced onto a through pass, reached the ball ahead of the goalkeeper and dragged his shot wide, the closest Kryvbas came to turning the match. Despite that, Dynamo defended their narrow lead until the final whistle.
Surkis started in goal for Dynamo, backed by a back line of Rybak, Dekhtiar and Ivaskiv, while Liusin and Lobko led the attack alongside K. Hubenko, Dykyi, Ozymai, Fedorenko and Bekerskyi in the Dynamo eleven. Kryvbas lined up with Danladi, Mayakov, K. Kudriavtsev, Popov, Nyanchur, Chernushkin, Butenko, R. Hubenko, M. Kudriavtsev, Shpylka and Hladkov.
The weight of the result is immediate: it keeps Pavlo Cherednichenko’s side on course in the title push as Matchday 25 concludes. A win away from home, even a single-goal victory, matters in a title race where points are currency. For Kryvbas, who sit lower in the standings, the loss adds pressure where a small margin of error can be costly.
Context matters here: Dynamo created the clearer chances and shouldered the greater attacking threat, yet they left Kryvyi Rih with only one goal. The clearest picture of their dominance was Liusin’s night—his 14th-minute finish, the run that hit the crossbar and the general threat he posed whenever he carried the ball at pace.
The tension in the match came from an unsteady conversion rate. Dynamo’s runners repeatedly breached Kryvbas defenders but failed to convert dominance into a comfortable scoreline. Kryvbas, for their part, kept coming and made the visitors pay attention late on; Lobko’s miss in the 67th minute and the clearance off Fedorenko’s near-goal at the end of the first half were the moments that kept the host crowd believing.
For Dynamo, the takeaway is twofold: they have the players to win tight away fixtures, and they have finishing to sharpen. Liusin carried the night and will leave the Hirnyk training base as the match’s defining figure, but the wider team must turn created chances into more decisive leads if they are to avoid nail-biting finishes as the season reaches its conclusion.
What happens next is simple and consequential: Pavlo Cherednichenko’s side moves on from Matchday 25 with three points, their title push intact, but the narrow margin exposes a need for clinical finishing in the coming fixtures; if that does not improve, clean sheets and solitary goals may prove an unsustainable model in the run-in.
