After a three-match unbeaten streak in three different tournaments issued by Shakhtar in late October, Pitmen's coach Luis Castro has resorted to a large-scale rotation against Karpaty.

Hemp, Marlos, Ismail and Krivtsov after match with Dynamo the Cup of Ukraine needed the help of doctors. Probably, the coaching staff also considered the meeting with Zagreb's Dynamo, which is waiting for Donetsk next Wednesday, so it did not fly to Lviv and Pyatov. As a result, the orange-black of the players who received a call for the next meeting of the national team of Ukraine, only Bolbat (came on as a substitute in the 53rd minute) and Kovalenko (came on as a substitute in the 56th minute, goal) appeared on the field.

As for the course of events in the match between Karpaty and Shakhtar, the game was held at a good pace, Lviv, who in the last round took away points from Dynamo, tried to resist, and even created moments. However, not the best match was played by the goalkeeper of the hosts Podkivka. In the 10th minute, his pass to the defender was intercepted by Boryachuk, who opened the account. In the second half, Kovalenko scored after a corner kick, and Tete scored from the game, bypassing a beat by a keeper who inadvertently exited the goal.

In another match, Vorskla met Desna - teams that successfully held this week Ukraine Cup matches, winning tickets to the quarterfinals. The meeting in Poltava ended with a minimal victory for the guests, which allowed Chernihiv to go around the Dynamo table for at least one day. Vorskla continued the series without victories in the championship until eight matches (seven defeats).

The rest of the matches of the 13th round will take place tomorrow.
