Former Ukraine national team player Adrian Pukanych shared his impressions of the Shakhtar vs Dynamo match.
- It cannot be said that the match was spectacular and will be remembered for a long time by football gourmets. The price was too high, so, as they say in such cases, beauty was not in the foreground.
The opponents did not surprise us with any home-made preparations, and did not take any special risks to minimise the number of losses. "The Shakhtar relied on dominance through ball control, while Dynamo were focused on a quick transition from defence to offence. Not everything worked out for them. Perhaps it was necessary to take into account that there were many young players among the participants who still lacked the experience to demonstrate everything they could in matches of such intensity. I am convinced that the fans were tuning in to see more goal-scoring chances and elaborate combinations, but we have what we have. This happens in matches where the result is the most important thing.
I believe that Shakhtar naturally became the champion, although Dynamo deserved a better fate after yesterday's match," Pukanich said.
