Donetsk’s Shakhtar drew with Kyiv’s Dynamo (0:0) in the 12-th round of the Ukrainian Premier League. This was reported by Hlavcom.
Pre-match condition of the teams
In the previous round Shakhtar beat Kyiv’s Obolon (2:0). Winger Alisson recorded a brace. Before that, Arda Turan’s side drew with Luhansk’s Zorya (0:0). Midweek the miners lost a Champions League match to Lisbon’s Sporting (0:1).
Dynamo, meanwhile, defeated Kryvyi Rih’s Kryvbas (2:0) in the last UPL round. Goals came from forward Ponomarenko and winger Yarmolenko, who converted a penalty. The latter later received a red card and will miss the Classic. Earlier the white-and-blues beat Kudrivka (3:1). Midfielders Mykhailenko and Pikhaylonok scored, and the third was an own goal by defender Veklyak.
Course of events
In the opening minutes the miners were more convincing. Mendoza wasted a chance to score when he shot over the goal from the edge of the box. The capital giants responded mid-half with a low strike from Sych into the goalkeeper’s hands after an interception.
A new burst of activity came at the end of the first half. First Voloshyn failed to beat Riznyk after a great pass from Ponomarenko. Then Alisson twice found himself in scoring positions – a save from Bushchan and the post denied him.
And at the start of the second 45-minute period Shakhtar’s Tobias let his team down. While preparing for a corner near his own goal the Brazilian struck Dubinchak with his fist and provoked a brawl. After reviewing the replay the referee sent the miner off.
With the numerical advantage Dynamo played as the first team. However, Turan’s side acted coherently in defense. Moreover, gradually Shakhtar pushed the game further away from Riznyk’s goal.
Sharp chances from the white-and-blues had to wait. Those that did come followed long-range efforts from Maciej Kendziora’s players. The goalkeeper managed the rebound shot from Brazhko and Dubinchak’s second-phase strike, while Ba shot wide.
The clearest chance belonged to Tiare. On the 87-th minute the Dynamo center-back got ahead of Riznyk after Shaparenko’s corner delivery, but the ball went over the bar. In the end, the scoreboard remained goalless.
