Yukhym Konoplya: "Dynamo showed a decent level, it was very difficult for us"

Shakhtar Donetsk defender Yukhym Konoplya commented on the 1-0 victory over Dynamo Kyiv in the 13th round of the Ukrainian Premier League on Football Hub.

- "This is a classic. We were highly motivated and showed a very decent level. I hope the fans enjoyed the game. "Dynamo had some chances in the first half, but they got tired because we still controlled the ball a lot. That's why Kyiv didn't have much energy for the second half.

But our opposition is the same. Sometimes someone plays a little better, someone worse. This is life, no one can be at the top level all the time. I understand the Dynamo guys, they are probably going through some kind of crisis. But they still showed a decent level, it was very difficult for us. I believe that both teams will compete for the championship until the last round," said the Donetsk resident.
