FC Dynamo Kyiv faced FC Shakhtar Donetsk in Kharkiv within the Ukrainian Premier League matchday 30.
Shakhtar were getting ready for this game as champions of Ukraine as they had already won the title. That’s why Paulo Fonseca applied some lineup rotation. For example, Ismaily, Marlos and Moraes weren’t on players’ list at all. Taison was at the bench. As for Dynamo, Olexandr Khatskevych used the best possible starting lineup he has at the moment.
In the first half the White-Blues did better than home side. They had pretty good combinations and shots on target. 36 minutes into the game Tsyhankov rushed into Shakhtar box, Fernando fouled and referee awarded penalty for Dynamo. Viktor converted from the spot – 0:1.
In the first half there were a lot of foul and a lot of yellow cards. Moreover, Shabanov got two bookings and was sent off right before the break.
Thus, in the second half Shakhtar took the game under control and equalized. Kayode assited Tete, who made the score 1:1.
64 minutes into the game Khocholava handed the ball, got his second yellow card and was sent off too.
Late in the second half Kayode and Tete had great chances to grab the winner, but failed.
So, it’s 1:1.
