The Ukrainian Association of Football Control and Disciplinary Committee (UAF CDC) has issued decisions regarding two incidents involving Dynamo Kyiv players. According to Sport RBC.UA, citing the club's official website, midfielder and team captain Andriy Yarmolenko has been suspended for three matches, with an additional one-match suspended sentence. Separately, the committee reviewed the dismissal of forward Eduardo Guerrero and banned him for two matches plus one suspended.
Three Matches for Yarmolenko: The Reason Is a Red Card Against Kryvbas
The ground for Andriy Yarmolenko's punishment was the red card the midfielder received during the 11th round Ukrainian Premier League match against Kryvbas. It was for this incident that the UAF CDC imposed a lengthy suspension: three matches without the right to participate and one conditional match. Thus, the Kyiv team leader will miss the upcoming stretch of the championship, which will be a tangible loss for Dynamo's coaching staff.
Record-Breaking Goal and Red Card in the Same Match
The encounter with Kryvbas turned out to be both triumphant and unfortunate for Yarmolenko. First, he provided an assist and then converted a penalty in the 43rd minute. According to the source, this very goal allowed the player to set a new absolute scoring record in Ukrainian league championships. However, at the end of the first half, in the third minute of added time, Yarmolenko was sent off — and it was this dismissal that became the subject of review by the disciplinary committee.
Guerrero: Red Card After the Final Whistle
Separately, the UAF CDC analyzed the incident involving Eduardo Guerrero, which occurred after the Ukrainian Cup Round of 16 match against Shakhtar Donetsk. The Panamanian Dynamo forward received a red card right after the final whistle. Following the review, the committee suspended him for two matches, with another match of disqualification given conditionally.
Who Else Will Miss the 'Clasico'
In addition to Yarmolenko and Guerrero, Kyiv central defender Taras Mykhavko is also listed among the absentees for the key championship match. It was previously reported that he will also miss the 'Clasico' in the Ukrainian championship. The combination of these suspensions significantly reduces Dynamo's squad options in upcoming crucial matches.
Context and Consequences for the Kyiv Side
The UAF CDC decisions, published via Dynamo's official channel and reported by Sport RBC.UA, affect two attacking players and one defender at once. For the team, this means forced lineup rotations in championship and cup matches, where Dynamo is traditionally focused on fighting for results. The final suspension terms — three matches for Yarmolenko and two for Guerrero (each with one conditional match) — have already become known to fans and experts.
