Donetsk "Shakhtar" in the central match of the 14th round in Odesa narrowly defeated the local "Chornomorets" 1:0. In the game against the leader, the "sailors" looked quite strong, with organized team play and even had chances to score against Shutkov. However, "Chornomorets" held out only until the 61st minute, when they conceded a goal after a dagger-like strike from Brandao.
This goal became the turning point in the game and chances near Vitaliy Rudenko's goal began to arise one after another. Vorobey should have scored twice from advantageous positions, but once he shot several meters over the goal, and in another moment after his header the goalkeeper demonstrated excellent reflexes. Brandao and Elano each wasted one 100% chance in the second half.
Kyiv "Dynamo" also obtained a fairly easy victory in the match against "Tavriya". Already in the 13th minute, after a mistake by Deonas on a clearance, Kleber opened the score with an accurate shot. Having conceded so early, "Tavriya" completely forgot about attacking and only in the final minutes of the match did Edmar break through toward Shovkovskyi's goal several times, but both times unsuccessfully.
Demyanenko's charges created about ten more chances near "Tavriya's" goal, where Rotan, Rincon, Kleber, Rebrov and Aliyev should have scored, but forced the guests to start from the center of the field only once.
In the 56th minute, after a corner kick, Deonas again made a mistake and Rincon sent the ball into the goal with a header, from where Gomenyuk already carried it out beyond the line, but the referee recorded a goal.
