The winning streak of Donetsk "Shakhtar" in the national championships on Saturday was unceremoniously interrupted by Kharkiv "Metalist". Mircea Lucescu's charges, who in the domestic league and the Ukrainian Cup were accustomed to victories, were beaten by the team from Kharkiv with a score of 1:0. The only goal in this game was scored in the 69th minute by Hunchak, who with a long-range shot into the right corner of the goal from Lashtuvka stunned the Donetsk public.

However, the score on the scoreboard does not reflect all the twists and turns of the match. "Shakhtar" should have won and moreover with a large score. In the first half, Vorobey and Brandao missed chances to score, and after a shot by Matuzalem the ball hit the goalpost. As for "Metalist's" play, one cannot say that the team sat back in defense for all 90 minutes. At the first opportunity, the Kharkiv players tried to go forward. In the first 45 minutes, Ibrahimov and Dzhakobiya shot dangerously.

The start of the second part of the game also began with attacks by the hosts. Twice after long-range shots by Srna, the goalkeeper had to demonstrate his skill to save the team from a goal. In the 64th minute, Agahowa had a chance to score, but his attempt to chip the goalkeeper ended with the ball going near the post.

"Metalist" did not miss its chance to score. In the 69th minute, one of the few attacks by Hennadiy Lytovchenko's charges ended with a shot from about 23 meters by Hunchak, who hit the upper corner of "Shakhtar's" goal, seemingly catching Lashtuvka by surprise. True, after this moment the miners had more than one chance to equalize and even snatch victory. In particular, a minute later Vorobey shot from a advantageous position near the post, and a bit later Brandao's header was also inaccurate. The Donetsk players failed to snatch victory even in the six minutes added by the referee. The Kharkiv players dragged out the playing time as best they could, the "Shakhtar" players were nervous and things almost came to a fight, but it passed. So, "Metalist's" victory is first of all joyful for Kyiv "Dynamo", which by beating "Borysfen" with a score of 2:0 reduced the gap from "Shakhtar" to two points.

As for the match in Kyiv, it took place in one direction toward the Boryspil team's goal. Already in the 7th minute of the game Kleber crossed from the corner flag, and Husin, jumping higher than everyone with a header, drove the ball into "Borysfen's" goal – 1:0. Having scored, "Dynamo" somewhat slowed down, although chances to score did not disappear. Thus Rincon and Kleber twice wasted opportunities to double the score, after whose shots the ball flew literally centimeters from the post.

In the 30th minute, Yozhef Sabo drew the wrath of Gavrančić. It all began with the fact that Sabo in the 30th minute of the first part of the game decided to replace the Serb with Rodolfo. Leaving the field, Goran shook hands with Rodolfo, but pushed away Yozhef Sabo's extended hand and in a rather sharp manner said something to the coach, pointing with gestures at the field. After this, Gavrančić gathered his things and went to the locker room without watching the game... Sabo at the post-match press conference noted that he replaced Gavrančić because he had an injury.

However, Sabo guessed right with the substitution after all. It was after Rodolfo's header in the 76th minute of the match that the score became 2:0. Shatskykh, Yussuf and Verpakovskis had practically 100% chances to increase the score in the match, after whose shots the ball was close to flying into the goal net. As for "Dynamo's" victory as a whole, it came at little cost – during the game it was noticeable that the Dynamo players could step up at any time.

From the other matches of the 10th round, it is worth noting another victory of "Volyn" in the game with "Arsenal" and the draw that "Illichivets" snatched in the last minutes of the meeting with Zaporizhzhia "Metalurh".
