After today's victory in the game with the team from Petrovo, Kyiv's Dynamo became unreachable for the pursuers three rounds before the end of the championship and provided the club with the 16th set of gold awards - and the first since 2016.

The match in the capital was held under the dominance of the hosts, and Kyiv without a swing clearly outlined their intentions and took the lead in the 4th minute. After the corner kick, de Pena made a free-kick to the penalty spot, and Zabarny won the fight against his opponents and scored his first goal in the matches of the Ukrainian championship. Soon the score was doubled, and again the goal came after the standard - this time a free kick. And Shaparenko performed the transfer from about the same point as de Pena, and Besedin was almost in the same zone as Zabarny 10 minutes earlier.

In the second half, Tsygankov, having successfully played in the finish, made the score devastating, and then made a double from Besedin's transfer. This is Victor's 11th and 12th goals in the current tournament, and he is only one goal behind the best scorer - Kulach from Vorskla. The fifth goal of the hosts - in the assets of Popov, who scored after the corner.

Mircea Lucescu's first Dynamo gold

After the match, Dynamo received congratulations on winning the championship. It is significant that the four-year hegemony of Shakhtar in the UPL was interrupted by the white-and-blues under the leadership of Mircea Lucescu, who is one of the symbols of the Donetsk club since independence.  

The game was attended by Dynamo players who were called to the last training camp of the national team of Ukraine: Bushchan, Zabarny (goal), Mykolenko, Sydorchuk (replaced in the 60th minute), Shaparenko (goal pass, replaced in the 46th minute), Tsigankov (two goals, goal pass), Besedin (goal, goal pass), Karavaev (came on as a substitute in the 46th minute), Shepelev (came on as a substitute in the 60th minute).

In a parallel match, Shakhtar was defeated in Alexandria. The hosts have interrupted their disappointing series of four losses, and Donetsk, who dropped out of the fight for gold, now have to focus on maintaining the current second place, because "Zorya" is already in the table.

Junior Moraes injury

The striker of the Pitmen and the national team of Ukraine Junior Moraes did not take part in the match. According to the official website of the Orange and Blacks, the forward was injured in training - a rupture of the cruciate ligament of the knee. The footballer will have an operation and recovery, which will last approximately six months. This means that Moraes will not help the team at Euro 2020.

As part of Shakhtar, the players on the list called up for the last training camp of the national team of Ukraine: Trubin, Stepanenko, Marlos (replaced in the 63rd minute), Kornienko (came on in the 63rd minute, yellow card) .

Another match of the 23rd round, which took place today, brought Zorya victory over Olimpik. Iranian forward Luhansk Shahab scored his 10th goal in the current championship, and only the second - for the current team (the rest - for "Olympic" in the first round). Thanks to this victory, Luhansk broke away from the competition in the fight for bronze by four points and still have a postponed match with the same "Olympic", which will take place already next Wednesday.
