After the matches of the sixth round, Dynamo's gap behind Shakhtar remained at 5 points. The Miners in the match in Donetsk defeated Boryspil's\n"Borysfen" 2:0, although the game for Mircea Lucescu's team could have ended with a less pleasant score.\n\nIn the 71st minute, Shakhtar goalkeeper Jan Laštůvka, trying to intercept Boryspil's Trusevych on a one-on-one break, came out of his goal and "laid out" the player on the turf about 5 meters from the penalty area. For this rule violation, Laštůvka received a red card from the match's head referee Vitaliy Hodulyan and left the field. After this, Batista (who volunteered himself) had to go in goal, and he retrained as a goalkeeper until the end of the game. However, the Donetsk team got lucky. In the minutes remaining until the final whistle, "Borysfen" never managed to test the newly minted goalkeeper.\n\nShakhtar scored its first goal against the visitors in the 25th minute. After a shot from outside the penalty area, the ball deflected to Agahowa, who, shifting toward the corner of the goal, shot low - 1:0. The Miners scored the second goal already in the final added minute of the match. Brandão with a measured pass sent Tymoshchuk one-on-one with the goalkeeper, and he with a powerful low shot made the score 2:0. A few seconds later the final whistle sounded. For Shakhtar, this victory became its sixth in the championship.\n\nAs for the match between Kyiv's Dynamo and Chornomorets, for the Odesa team it began dramatically. Already in the first minute of the match, an accurate strike by Oleh Husiev put Dynamo ahead. Closer to halftime, Kosyrin managed to restore parity in this match, equalizing the score.\n\nThe second part of this duel again began with trouble for the Odesa team. For a second yellow card, Ruslan Hilaziev was sent off by referee Zhosan. With ten men against the Champions League group stage participant, Chornomorets could no longer fight. In the 64th minute, Rincon after a set-piece made the score 2:1, and 20 minutes later Oleh Husiev, taking advantage of a measured pass from Shatskikh, powerfully shot into the corner of the Odesa team's goal – 3:1.\n\nOf the other matches of the sixth round, it is worth noting the rout in Mariupol of Dnipro by Illichivets, in which former Shakhtar players Serhiy Zakarlyuka and Hennadiy Zubov took part, with the latter scoring a brace.\n\nResults of the 6th round matches.\n\nDynamo - Chornomorets - 3:1\nGoals: Husiev 1, 83, Rincon 64, Kosyrin 31\nDYNAMO: Reva, Nesmachnyi (Kaddouri 64), Rodolfo, Sablic, Ghioane, Husiev, Leko, Cernat (Rincon 46), Cesnauskis (Gavrancic 46), Kleber, Shatskikh\nChornomorets: Rodenko, Stoyan, Dotsenko, Symonenko, Bilozor, Uvarov, Danylovskyi, Hilaziev, Mitierev (Zghura 82), Kyrlyk, Kosyrin (Brankovic 59)\n\nShakhtar - Borysfen - 2:0\nGoals: Agahowa 25, Tymoshchuk 90\nSHAKHTAR: Laštůvka, Rat, Stoican (Lewandowski 46), Berkeuane, Hübschman, Duljaj, Tymoshchuk, Vukic, Vorobey (Brandão 46), Agahowa (Batista 64), Marica\nBORYSFEN: Mykhailov, Koteliukh, Kovaliuk, Honchar (Dmytruk 79), Khomyn, Melnyk, Horodov (Annienkov 46), Trusevych, Litovchak, Karamushka, Derkach (Khromtsov 85).\n\nMetalist - Arsenal - 1:1\nGoals: Ribeiro 18, Omelianchuk 81\n\nKryvbas - Metalurh - 0:0\n\nTavria - Obolon - 0:1\nGoal: Prodan 42\n\nZakarpattia - Vorskla-Naftohaz - 1:0 Goal: Yarosh 24\n\nIllichivets - Dnipro - 3:0\nGoal: Zakarlyuka 27, Zubov 76, 84.
