Shakhtar midfielder Taras Stepanenko assured that regular victories over Dynamo did not become a reason for Gornyakov to look down on Kievans.

In the 26th round of the Premier League Shakhtar defeated Dynamo 1-0 on the road.

"We had a good meeting, played confidently. Actually in the first half they did the result, and after the break they went back and tried to act on counterattacks. In general, Shakhtar worked very well, everyone helped each other. Dynamo practically created nothing at our gates, and, I think, it is the merit of the whole team. We correctly and reliably played in defense - on what Paulo Fonseca accented, "- commented Stepanenko's game.

The miner recently regularly defeats Dynamo in the championship - out of 5 meetings Miners were stronger in 4.

"The team is working very hard, and the results of our daily labors are evident on the field. The miner has great respect for the Dynamo, all our fights have always been principled. Of course, everyone is happy that at the moment the Miners dominate the confrontation with the principal rival. But, once again, we have great respect for the Dynamo ".

Next meeting of Shakhtar and Dynamo will be held on May 25 in Kharkov.
