The final blow of Micon in the last minutes allowed the ten-miner Shakhtar to win a difficult victory over Desna.

"I honestly do not want to talk today about the referee, I want to talk about something else. It is clear that today there was some misunderstanding between the arbitrators, but now I want to talk a little about something else, "said Fonseca.

"We made some changes in the roster, rotated. It is necessary to understand that some guys played all 90 minutes for their national teams and this forced me to make changes in the composition in this game.. In the first half, we were not always able to resist the opponent's hyper-defense and we allowed them to conduct dangerous attacks a couple of times.. We tried, but you need to understand that it is not always easy to open such a hyper-defense of the opponent ".

"But what I really want to talk about is the second half. From the moment of their removal, the team showed great character. We played much better with ten players than before.. Since the removal of Kayode, we were more unpredictable, more dangerous, faster, and showed a really big character ".

"And, of course, it makes me happy. It was a very difficult victory, but the team tried to the very end. We received a kind of bonus at the end, because the team continued to believe, work and fight, even playing with ten men, which is not easy ".

In the second half, there was a scandalous episode, when referee Sergey Boyko removed the Desna player and then reversed his decision..
