The main events in the 12th round of the Premier League took place today. Three matches were played with the participation of the championship leaders.

Desna, whose duel with Lviv started earlier, confidently won on the road and climbed to the second row of the table for a few hours. Before the break, Chernihiv secured a comfortable score, scoring three dry balls for Lviv. The hosts continued their stay on the last step. The team, now led by Volodymyr Mazyar, last celebrated its victory in the championship in the summer.

In order to regain the second place, Dynamo had to not lose to another Lviv team - Karpaty. In the starting lineup of Kiev, which this week in the Europa League drew with Copenhagen, appeared Sol, Rodriguez, Shaparenko and Karavaev, who recently have little playing practice.

In the first 45 minutes Dynamo had a significant advantage, but they failed to put the last point in the attack. After the break, Verbych, who came on as a substitute, completed the multi-pass combination. But this goal was not enough for the white and blues to win the championship for the sixth time in a row. "Karpaty" was repeatedly saved by goalkeeper Kudryk, who had a great match. And at the end of the match Shabanov cut the ball into his own goal after Boychuk's shot, while in the last minutes the same Boychuk also scored in the crossbar. However, Kyivans also had a few hundred moments.

The players who were called to the November national team of Ukraine were involved in the match: Shabanov (own goal), Mykolenko, Karavayev, Sidorchuk (yellow card), Tsygankov (goalkeeper), Shepelev (came on for 79 minutes).

A meaningful but goalless match with the participation of two representatives of Ukraine at the group stage of the European Cups this season took place in Kharkiv. Shakhtar, who drew in the Champions League this week with Zagreb's Dynamo, met with "Alexandria", who recently returned from France, where parted ways with Saint-Etienne. The goalkeepers of both teams, who now together represent the national team of Ukraine, demonstrated a great game today. Yuri Pankiv made four great saves only in the first half. The Alexandrians, of course, carried out fewer attacks, but Andriy Pyatov also had to demonstrate his class before the break, repelling the blows of Shastal and Zaderaka. In the second half, Pankiv continued to save the guests, and once they were helped by the crossbar. Shakhtar did not win the championship for the first time, but Dynamo lost the chance to get closer to the Pitmen.

For Shakhtar played players who received a call for the next training camp of Andriy Shevchenko's team: Pyatov, Kryvtsov, Kovalenko (replaced in the 59th minute), Marlos (replaced in the 74th minute), Moraes, Konoplyanka (came on as a substitute for 59 -th minute). The whole match for "Alexandria" was played by Pankiv, who also played on November 11 is to come to the location of blue and yellow.
