Premier League: Shakhtar smash Vorskla despite first-half failure

The central match of the 4th round of Prem'yer-leagues. In Kharkov met the champion and bronze medalist of the last championship, the clubs-participants of group tournaments of European Cups this season.

Vorskla came into the game in a significantly weakened lineup: for a number of reasons, eight main performers were unable to take part in the match at once. The spectators also saw an innovation from Paulo Fonseca - among the first 11 the miners had an infrequent guest at the base of Wellington Nem, while the midfielder of the national team of Ukraine Viktor Kovalenko played in the reserve.

Despite the personnel difficulties, in the first half Poltava managed to shock the champion. Restraining the attacks of Donetsk, the guests of USC "Metalist" played a great corner. The child passed, and Sharpar on the far post successfully chose the position and struck a productive header in the far corner in opposition to Pyatov.

Shakhtar did not act as sharply in the attack as usual (only four shots on goal in the first half). However, moments arose near Shust's possessions, but Bogdan caught the courage, and five minutes before the break he was secured by a rack.

But after the break the course of the match changed quite quickly. Marlos played a "wall" with Tyson at the entrance to the penalty area "Vorskla" and rolled the ball down past Shust. 1: 1. Then Stepanenko took advantage of the failure of Poltava in defense, who together with Moraes went to the lonely Shust. At the end of the terrible 12-minute for the guests Khocholava scored after a corner, receiving a pass from Alan Patrick. Finished the demoralized white-green Moraes, assisted by Tyson.

As part of Shakhtar, four players of the Ukrainian national team, who were called up for the last training camp, took part in the game: Pyatov, Rakitsky, Stepanenko (goal, yellow card), Marlos (goal).
