Three matches of the 30th round of the Premier League took place on Saturday. Shakhtar hosted Zorya in Kharkiv and, thanks to Tyson's goal, won an important victory in the last minutes.

At the beginning of the match Gromov had a good moment, but Pyatov managed to hit the midfielder of "Zorya" in the near corner. However, the game was played by Shakhtar, which soon realized its advantage. Ferreira's top scorer of the current championship, using Fred's diagonal pass, went one-on-one with Zorya goalkeeper Lunin and left no chance. Probably, in this episode the absence of disqualified central defenders of Luhansk Svatka and Chechera was noticed. Gordienko and Momo, who replaced them, acted inconsistently.

After a break in one of the episodes, "Dawn" was lucky. Lunev, passing on the right flank, scored and hit Yuri in the head. The ball changed trajectory and ended up in the net. 1: 1. In the absence of the disqualified Marlos, Shakhtar players found it more difficult to combine in the lead, but at the end of the match Tyson took over the game. Picking up the ball in the center of the field, the Brazilian made a slalom pass to the gates of "Dawn" and made an accurate final blow. 2: 1.

So thanks Dynamo loses two points in game against Mariupol The Pitmen are already five points ahead of Kyiv and have the opportunity to secure gold medals for the tour to the finish line in the next match with Veres, turning the meeting with Kyiv on the last day of the game into a formality.
