FC Dynamo Kyiv hosted FC Shakhtar Donetsk in the Ukrainian Premier League matchday 11 game.
Both sides performed in euro cups earlier last week, but Shakhtar played their match one Tuesday while Dynamo – on Thursday. Thus Donetsk side had two days more to get ready for this game.
Maybe that is why Shakhtar were more active in terms of attacking actions early in the game. Zubkov was especially persistent and hit the crossbar in the 8th minute.
In the 16th minute the White-Blues suffered significant loss as Denys Popov got injured and was substituted.
