But everything changed in the 53rd minute. Hurynovich received the ball in the penalty area and with an accurate blow in the fall literally from under the defender's foot scored the ball with his head. The second goal was especially offensive for the Zenit. During the Dinamo attack, the Leningrad defender unsuccessfully gave the ball to his goalkeeper. Hurinovich immediately took advantage of this moment and scored his second goal in this match and the ninth in the championship.
Even with two balls in reserve, Dinamo did not give up the active game. Leningraders tried to carry out counterattacks. But before the final whistle the score remained unchanged - 0:2.
