UA-Football has compiled for you the most important news of Sunday, October 4
There were not so many dangerous moments in one of the two central games of the fifth round between Kiev and Lugansk. The first half ended in a 0: 0 draw, but after the break, Skripnik’s team took the lead thanks to Kochergin’s long-range shot. However, “Dynamo” found the strength to recover. Benjamin Verbic became the hero of the blue and white, who realized a one-on-one outing. The Dynamo missed the opportunity to lead the standings alone; now the Lucescu team shares the front line with Vorskla.
This match was much more interesting in terms of attacking play. Already in the fifth minute, Viktor Kovalenko opened the scoring, but Mostovoy almost immediately leveled the position, and then Totovitskiy put Chernihiv’s team ahead. In both cases, the Desna players were assisted by Gutsulyak. Shakhtar were able to recover in the second half thanks to a goal from Dentinho. The miners share fourth and sixth places with Desna and Olimpik, two points behind the leaders.
The Donetsk team welcomed Oleksandriya and decided the fate of the match in the first half, scoring three goals (Zahedi, Babogla and Zotko own goal from the penalty spot). Also, Banada was sent off before the break. In the second half, Sharan’s team scored twice (Sitalo, Grechishkin from the penalty spot) – 3: 2 in favor of Olimpik. “Kolos” played with “Mariupol” and in the first half due to injury he was forced to make three changes. In the second, Kosyishin’s defenses were very unlucky: the ball repeatedly hit the frame, but at 90 + 4 the referee awarded a penalty for a violation that occurred before the penalty area. Orihovsky scored and Kolos moved up to third place.
After the match against Desna, the Donetsk club received the test results from the players before leaving for the national team camp. It turned out that Andriy Pyatov and Taras Stepanenko are infected with the coronavirus. As a result, the entire team went into self-isolation, new tests will be conducted on Monday and again on Thursday. Bear in mind that this way the Shakhtar players will not help the national team, at least in the game with France, which is scheduled for October 7. Andriy Shevchenko quickly summoned Oleksandriya’s Yuri Pankiv and Dynamo’s Vladimir Shepelev.
“Gent” finally came to his senses at the Belgian championship. The team of three Ukrainian legionnaires defeated “Beershot” 5: 1, the first two goals were scored by Yaremchuk. Igor Plastun also participated in the game. Meanwhile, in the central match of the tour in Belgium, “Brugge” defeated “Anderlecht” 3: 0. For the former, Eduard Sobol played the full match, for the latter – Bogdan Mikhailichenko.
At first, the performance was in charge of the Mankunians. Already in the second minute they opened the scoring in the match against Tottenham with a penalty, but before the end of the fight they conceded six in return! The heroes of the spurs were Song Hin Min and Kane, who scored two goals and assisted each other. And then it was Liverpool’s turn to play without Alisson and Manet. However, the absence of two key players hardly justifies the 7-2 loss to Aston Villa. Birmingham leader Jack Grealish has a double and three assists, and Watkins has a hat-trick. Meanwhile, Arsenal modestly beat Sheffield 2-1, while Dawn’s rival Leicester was beaten 0-3 by West Ham.
In Spain, of course, the focus is on the big boys. There, Real played as a visitor with Levante and won 2-0 thanks to goals from Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema. As it turned out, at the end of the round, the creamy caught up with Barcelona on lost points. The Catalans took Sevilla. We conceded an early goal from Luc De Jong. Just as quickly they leveled off thanks to Coutinho’s effort, and in the end it all ended in a 1: 1 draw.
The game against Hertha was not as easy for Bayern as the Munich fans had hoped. The Reds led 2: 0, 3: 2, but each time the Berliners leveled the position. Finally, at 90 + 3rd, Bayern scored the winning goal from the penalty spot – 4: 3. All four of the champions’ goals were scored by Robert Lewandowski.
There were interesting matches and a scandal in Italy. First, Atalanta beat Cagliari 5: 2. Malinovskiy entered as a substitute when the match’s outcome was already decided. Second, Inter and Lazio tied 1: 1. Milan, in turn, easily defeated La Spezia 3-0. But the Neapolitans did not make it to the game. The reason is that two infected coronaviruses were found in its composition, so the local authorities prohibited the team from leaving the region. Serie A does not agree with this decision and threatens to sue.
