The third round of the Ukrainian championship opened with a principled match, in which Shakhtar Donetsk minimally beat Dynamo Kyiv on the road.

Extremely important match between the white and blue had to take place in between Champions League matches against Belgian Brugge. Keeping in mind the upcoming European Cup game, Alexander Hatskevich made several changes. The hosts got Shepelev, where Pena, a newcomer to Rodriguez, appeared in the starting lineup for the first time this season, while Besedin and Buyalsky did not get to the bid, and Karavaev remained on the bench.

Luis Castro could not count on the injured Kovalenko. Instead, the Portuguese coach of Shakhtar returned Bolbat and Solomon to the starting lineup. An additional motivation for Donetsk residents was the recent one defeat against the dynamite players in the Super Bowl of Ukraine.

Opponents were in no hurry to reveal, so there were few moments at the start of the match. The hosts should note the accurate shot of de Penny, and the guests - a sharp but inaccurate shot of Solomon in the far corner. However, in the middle of the half, Shakhtar unexpectedly opened the scoring: Solomon broke through on the right flank and shot at Moraes, and the ex-Dynamo player elegantly scored with his heel.

In the 32nd minute, the Pitmen could increase the advantage, but Marlos from Tyson's pass hit the post. Kyiv still managed to recover before the break, when Pyatov failed to repel Garmash's long shot, and Rodriguez headed the ball into the net. For the Luxembourg national team player, this is the first goal in a Dynamo shirt.

The second half started with Shakhtar's pressure - Tyson scored dangerously, Moraes and Marlos tried. The White and Blues responded closer to the middle of the 45th minute, when Verbych did not use a great flank pass, breaking above the goal. And soon the miners scored the winning goal. Marlos rocked de Pena and Kadar and, with a ricochet from Mykolenko, beat Boyko with a shot from medium distance.

By the end of the match, Kyiv lost a few more moments, in particular, Andrievsky's shot was blocked, and in overtime he could not push the ball into Sol's net. Shakhtar could have scored the third goal during the 3-on-1 attack, but Dentinho did not hit the empty net. In the end - 2: 1 in favor of the guests.

Six players who took part in the last meeting of the national team played for Dynamo: Boyko, Burda, Mykolenko, Shepelev (yellow card, replaced in the 70th minute), Sidorchuk (replaced in the 66th minute), Tsygankov (replaced in 60th minute). Shakhtar have seven teams: Pyatov, Kryvtsov, Matvienko, Stepanenko, Marlos (goal replaced in the 90th + 2nd minute), Moraes (goal, yellow card, replaced in the 81st minute), Bolbat ( replaced in the 78th minute).

It should be noted that the coaches of the national team of Ukraine Andriy Shevchenko and Oleksandr Shovkovsky were present at the match. We will also remind that on September 2 blue-yellows will hold open training at NSC "Olympic".
