With a counter attack after free kick against the home side, when Vitali Vernidub picked up a yellow card, before Zenyov failed to finish Antonov”s cross. Just before the half-time, Dinamo”s keeper gave save to his team denying Rashad Sadigov”s header from the spot.

In the 64th minute, Antonov in the box could not touch the ball from Zenyov in the right 3 minutes before Floresko”s powerful kick was deflected by the visitor keeper.
Dinamo went down to 10 again, just like in the 1st game, after Georgan captain Lasha Totadze fouled against Urfan Abbasov. Gabala stepped up their inroads into the opponent defense, but Dinamo”s counter attack went too close opening the scoring with 2 Georgian players against our only 2 defenders before Bezotosny gave a great save to his teammates.
Grigorchuk”s changes in the staff brought the fate of the show in Gabala”s favor . Arif Dashdamirov”s dynamism from the left led to the opener by Zenyov – 1:0.
