On Sunday, March 12, within the framework of the 17th round of the Ukrainian Premier League, Kryvbas hosted Shakhtar Donetsk at home in Krivoy Rog.

After a 15-hour bus trip Warsaw-Chisinau-Lviv-Krivoy Rog, the Donetsk team had an unsuccessful first half, creating practically nothing at the hosts' goal.

In the second half, Shakhtar upped the pace, and the course of the game was reversed by Sudakov's masterpiece shot from the right flank into the near nine of Sarnavsky's goal in the 58th minute.

After that, Kryvbas opened up, which made it much easier for Shakhtar's players to play in free space, which the Donetsk team took advantage of.

First, the debut goal for the Pitmen was scored by the Venezuelan striker Kelsey, who accurately completed a combination involving Sudakov and Shved, and already three minutes later, the Shved himself, after Kryskiv's pass, set the final score in the match - 0:3.

Kryvbas 0-3 Shakhtar.

Goals: Sudakov, 58, Kelsey, 80, Shved, 83.

Thus, Shakhtar took advantage of Dnipro-1's defeat by Dynamo and single-handedly topped the standings, three points ahead of Dnipro.
