Shakhtar defeated Oleksandriya for the first time in a year and a half: video review of the UPL match

On Monday, August 14, the program of the 3rd round of the Ukrainian Football Championship finished with a duel at the “Left Bank” stadium near Kiev, the leader of which was sensationally “Rukh”.

Championship of Ukraine. 3rd round

August 14 (Monday)

Shakhtar (Donetsk) - Oleksandriya - 2:1 (Sikan, 7, Traore, 31 - Skorko, 60). Junior teams - 0:1.

“Miner”: Ripper, Gocholeishvili, Chigirinsky (Kozik, 74), Matvienko, Topalov, Nazarina, Ocheretko, Kryskiv (Castillo, 89), Zubkov (Neverton, 84), Sikan (Vyunik, 46), Traore (Kelsey, 46).

The team from the Kirovohrad region can safely be called one of the most inconvenient opponents for Shakhtar, which before the reporting game in the last seven meetings of the Ukrainian championship was able to beat Oleksandriya only once (in two defeats of the Pitmen and four draws).

However, this time the Pitmen, whose starting line-up almost 10 years later defender Chygrynskiy returned, scored already in the 7th minute, when Sikan with an accurate header forced ex-goalkeeper… Shakhtar Shevchenko to capitulate. And on the 30th one more productive blow “from the second floor” was a success for Traore – 2:0.

After the break, Rotan’s team managed to win back one ball, when Dynamo’s pet Skorko headed the ball into the net of the Ripper goal - 2:1. Already in injury time, the guests had a great chance to level the score, but the Pitmen’s goalkeeper saved his team after heading Smirny at close range.

It should be noted that Shakhtar could not defeat Oleksandriya for a whole year and a half, when in December 2021 they beat the opponent at the Nika Stadium (2:1). Both head-to-head matches of the teams last season ended in a draw - 2:2 and 1:1.
