It happened due to certain circumstances that the two main matches of matchday five of the Ukrainian Premier League ended in the same time slot. That is why the match at Chernigov’s Yuri Gagarin Stadium, where local Desna hosted Shakhtar Donetsk, fell like a shadow at the end of the season, when key matches start in a single push. However, the intrigue in the battle between the former and the current representative of Ukraine in the European competition this football year was not going to be occupied.
Alexander Ryabokon’s pupils underwent psychological rehabilitation after a failed Europa League debut match against Wolfsburg (0: 2) in a kind of simulator called Lviv Rukh, without offensive characteristics for the latter. It so happened that the games of the “Northerners” against the newcomer of the Premier League of Ukraine this season in the national championship and the Cup of Ukraine were side by side on the calendar. Desna kept both games at home, but with a different number of goals scored: 3 in the championship against 2 in the cup competition.
Enough has been said about the current state of Luis Castro’s team. The miner failed to show a decent level of play in the first slot between matches of the national teams, largely due to the postponement of the opening game of this period against Ruh himself (1: 1). The Pitmen immediately got into a regional derby against Luhansk Zarya (2: 2), which has never been easy for them in recent years.
The oranges and blacks lost their morale, after which they barely recovered in the Donetsk derby against Olimpik (2: 0) thanks to a successful blitzkrieg in the second half. They were unable to accommodate the reigning champion with their conditions, so with a successful game at the briefing, Shakhtar intended to safely close this page of their history.
The guests started the game with the utmost confidence, and already in minute 4 Viktor Kovalenko successfully closed the rebound of Polegenko, who received a header from Moraes at the end of a corner kick from the right wing. It would seem that what could go wrong for the reigning Ukrainian champions in a duel with such a good start? It turned out that Alexander Ryabokon’s team simply did not have time to warm up. Desna gave the opponents ten hot minutes in the middle of the half, during which she managed not only to level the score, but to secure an advantage before going into halftime.
Shakhtar players have concentration problems. And how else can you explain the performance of Castro’s team during Gutsulyak’s explosive jolts in the two goals of Chernihiv’s neighbors? Only the points of the attacks changed: Pyatov was unable to stop Mostovoy’s shot, who closed the center from the front from the right wing, and eight minutes later Totovitsky echoed his teammate when completing the pass from the opposite side of the countryside.
Overall, the game might have lost its meaning long before the final whistle, but Budkovsky decided to close out the next flank pass with a blow to the chest to Andrey Pyatov, thus leaving Shakhtar in the game. Predictably, the Donetsk side retained control of the ball before the break, but Litovka did not allow any goals to occur after the spikes and spikes by Moraes and Kornienko, the most outstanding players of the Castro team in attack. Meanwhile, the troops on the bench were already preparing for the landing after the teams returned to the field.
There have been two substitutions since Shakhtar’s inception: Stepanenko came out to reinforce the support zone, and Solomon did the job Marlos was supposed to be responsible for. Fernando and Tete soon joined in, but the Donetsk team still didn’t play well. Everything is simple, they were waiting for the release of the “king of the bench” Dentinho, who already in the first attack with his participation scored a goal, completing the transfer of Tete to the left flank of the penalty area. Desna once allowed himself to open up for a positional attack in the second half and immediately shoved the ball into his own net.
When Dentinho was scoring, the 79th minute of the match had already started on the referee’s clock, which put increased pressure on the home side’s defense by the Donetsk team. However, all Shakhtar was able to do that night was a couple of missed turns from outside the penalty area and Kornienko’s sharp tackles from the left flank. Mountain women lost 6 points in 4 rounds played. A dangerous trend. However, as a result of the reporting game, both sides lost important points.
In the next round, Chernihiv Desna will play an invited duel against Dnieper Dnieper-1, and Donetsk Shakhtar at NSC Olimpiyskiy will warm up at PFC Lviv, after which they will go to Madrid to meet Real Madrid. But all this will be after the matches of the national teams.
