Thanks to the victory over Rukh with a crushing score and the defeat of the main pursuer, the white and blues now have a comfortable gap in the standings.

It seemed that the match with Lviv, which took the last place before the reporting round, did not bode well for the miners. The game took place in Kharkiv at USC Metalist, which not so long ago served as the orange and black home arena, in addition, the Lviv team approached the match with three consecutive defeats in the previous rounds.

But the meeting with the outsider turned into a fiasco for Donetsk residents. In his debut, Moraes lost two chances to open the scoring, while Alvaro was not so wasteful. The Brazilian legionnaire of "Lviv" ran away from Dodo and, responding to Shina's pass, beat Trubin. For the time remaining in the first half, Shakhtar laid siege to the opponent's goal, but was only able to equalize. Solomon scored a great detour after a pass from Marlos.

After the break, Night from Chiryak's pass led the nominal hosts forward, but Solomon ended his pass with another accurate shot, again making the score a draw. But the last word was left for the people of Lviv. Shina broke into the Pitmen's penalty area and forced Trubin to foul, and then he realized a penalty. 3: 2.
