The reigning champions of Ukraine suffered their first setback of the season at the very start of the championship.
Polissya dramatically defeated Shakhtar in a tense match in the second round of the Ukrainian Premier League. The reigning champions of Ukraine hosted their opponents at Left Bank’s nominally home stadium in Kyiv.
Let’s remember that the Pitmen played poorly in the first half, which resulted in a conceded goal from the Zhytomyr club – Chobotenko blocked the cross from the corner.
In the second half, Shakhtar tried to come back, but visiting goalkeeper Volynets continued to be an obstacle. Because of this, the game ended with a score of 1:0 in favor of Polesie.
