Premier League: Shakhtar and Dynamo win with a dry score

On Saturday, the grandees of Ukrainian football played their matches in the 5th round of the Premier League. Shakhtar confidently beat FC Lviv away, while Dynamo beat Oleksandriya at home, winning the championship for the fourth time in a row with a score of 1: 0. This result allowed Dynamo to lead the table.

The Pitmen at the Ukraina Stadium had a total advantage over the opponent in possession of the ball, but embodied it in the goal scored only in the middle of the first half.

The applications of the two teams for this game included 13 representatives of Brazil, not including the native of this country Marlos, so it is not surprising that the Latin American legionnaires were the most prominent figures during the scoring moments. And the hosts could have been the first to score, but Augusto didn't realize a great moment - Rakitsky took the ball out of the goal line after the Lviv player's shot. The immediate response of the guests was effective - the combination of Tyson-Moraes-Marlos ended with a shot by the midfielder of the national team of Ukraine.

In the second half, the Pitmen did not manage to consolidate their advantage in the score for a long time, not least due to the confident actions of the Lviv goalkeeper Bandura. Only in the 90th minute Bolbat, having successfully played on the finish, put an end to the match.

Thus, the debut of the new head coach of FC Lviv Yuri Bakalov turned out to be a bit spoiled, but, given the level of the opponent and some good games in the performance of Lviv, he is unlikely to have cause for sadness. But Shakhtar coach Paulo Fonseca celebrated the anniversary - the 100th match at the head of the Pitmen in all tournaments.

In the match against Shakhtar, the players of the Ukrainian national team, who were called up for the last training camp of the blue-yellows - Pyatov, Rakitsky, Stepanenko, Marlos (goal), Butko (came on as a substitute in the 77th minute) took part.

Dynamo came out to play against Oleksandriya, already knowing the result of the match in Lviv. However, Kyiv, who played their 400th home match in the Ukrainian championships, was probably more interested in the current rival, who had the status of the championship leader in four rounds. In general, both teams on the eve of the face-to-face meeting had one hundred percent, winning all previous matches in the championship without a single missed goal.

And Volodymyr Sharan's team in Kyiv confirmed the reputation of the team with strong defense. Despite a large number of shots on goal by Dynamo, they did not manage to create real threats for a long time - all these were only half-moments.

It is possible that a somewhat unusual composition of Kyivites was noticed - Oleksandr Hatskevich resorted to rotation. Thus, Burda, Shepelev, Tsygankov and Sidorchuk remained in reserve, and Garmash was out of the application. Instead, Che Che and Andrievsky came out from the first minutes, and Morozyuk closed the position of the right midfielder.

But in the end Tsygankov had to replace him. And it was the midfielder of the national team of Ukraine who finished his pass with a wonderful shot, "soaking" the gates of "Alexandria" and opening the score for his goals this season. This goal remained the only one in the game.

The game was played by Dynamo players from the last "call" of Andriy Shevchenko - Boyko, Shabanov, Buyalsky, Besedin, Tsygankov (goal, came on as a substitute in the 46th minute).
