Three goals in the second half allowed the Donetsk team to celebrate the victory over the Carpathians (3-0).
The Donchans already knew the result of a dramatic duel between Dynamo and Zarei, so they certainly had to take away three points from Lviv. The team did not count Fred, Tyson, Rakitsky and Hocholava. Duet in the center of defense composed Ordets and Matvienko, and in the midfield came Alan Patrick and Kovalenko. From the first minutes of the Carpathians showed that an easy walk of the "miners" does not wait.
The first moment guests were able to create already in the middle of the half, when Facundo Ferreira broke into a shock position in another's free kick and struck - Pidkivka transferred the ball to the corner. The Argentine was not given much space, and all the creativity came from only Marlos, who was met by two opponents. In general, the first half was quite boring. Teams fought a lot and created little moments.
At the beginning of the second half, Dentinho changed Kovalenko, and the "miners" immediately scored, but the Brazilian has nothing to do with it. Marlos beat with Ferreira and struck - Pidkivka repelled the blow, but the first on finishing was Bernard. 0: 1. Shakhtar players felt the "smell of blood" and after fifteen minutes scored again - Dentinho from the flank otpasoval on Alan Patrick, and he hit the near corner upset Pikkivka. 0: 2.
After this, the "miners" slowed down a bit, but still managed to increase their advantage. Ismaili received the transfer from the depths and easily outplayed Pikkivka in close combat. 0: 3. After that, Paulo Fonseca gave the game time some spare. Even Blanco-Leshchuk received five minutes! Guests were able to bring the match to its logical conclusion and scored another three points.
