On Saturday, the 25th round of the Prem started with two matches with the participation of the teams of the first six'air league. The matches took place without spectators, with observance of the relevant ones recommendations and protocol.

The starting lineup of the miners was somewhat unusual. In the match at the NSC "Olympic", which took place in the presence of the head coach of the national team of Ukraine Andriy Shevchenko, among the top 11 were only four players of the blue-yellows. However, having a 16-point advantage over the pursuers after the previous round, Shakhtar head coach Luis Castro could quite fearlessly resort to rotation and personnel experiments.  

In particular, Fernando acted at the forefront of the orange-black attack. And it was the Brazilian legionnaire who opened the scoring in the 4th minute, making a Dodo pass. Having missed, the Desna players made a lot of efforts to change the course of the match. But they did not use their moments, the miners increased their advantage. Marlos first lost the duel to Pasta, performing an 11-meter, and then, in the next attack, rehabilitated, accurately punching after a pass from Alan Patrick.

The teams went to the break with a score of 2: 1 - Denis Favorov scored from the penalty spot, but at the beginning of the second half the advantage of Donetsk again increased to two goals. Marlos played in the finish after Fernando's strike during a quick counterattack. The midfielder of the national team of Ukraine, who turns 32 tomorrow, made a double in second round in a row. Budkivsky created an intrigue in the 88th minute, beating Trubin, but there was not enough time for something more for Desna.

The Pitmen took part in the match of the national team of Ukraine: Matvienko (yellow card), Kryvtsov, Stepanenko (substituted in the 74th minute), Marlos (two goals, missed penalty, replaced in the 74th minute), Konoplyanka (came on substitution in the 59th minute), Moraes (came on as a substitute in the 79th minute).
