finaly dynamo return to the wins.

[bugylibicska]

I expect Shakhtar to win (Braga), Dynamo get a point (Besiktas) and Zorya lose (MU) in Europe.

[bugylibicska]

I was spot on this time, how I wish I wasn`t. Zorya deserve all the praise, but no point after a remarkable performance. Players like Kamenyuka (who?) and Petryak looked like real players compared to Pogba (who?) and company. After they`re robbed by 2 points against Fenerbahce this time also lady luck turned her back on them. I just wish their spirit won`t be broken, but laugh into the eyes of adversity and fight till the end. Dynamo got a crucial point in Istanbul and back to contention, thanks also to Napoli who look like a runaway winner. Shakhtar 90% qualified, but Gent might cause more problems than the other 2 - Braga and Konyaspor.

Shakhtar Donetsk 1 - 0 Zorya
Dynamo Kyiv 2 - 0 Zirka

After 10 rounds:

Shakhtar 28
Dynamo Kyiv 22
Zorya 20...

interesting fact, in this European season Ukrainian teams played 14 matches, with the achieved 5 wins 3 draws and 6 defeats

results without Shakhtar Donetsk....0 wins 3 draws 5 loses

[Metallica1989]

the most important surprise is the performance of Chornomorets Odessa, waiting for the return EL in Odessa .... biggest disappointment Stal K and Karpaty

[kleber]

Odessa kept basicaly all team unlike other clubs.

vorskla if not for the win against dynamo with a poor season.

[Metallica1989]

Zorya Volyn 2-0
Olimpik Shakhtar 1-1
Chornomorets Dynamo 1-1

Olexandria Stal 2-0
Zirka Vorskla 2-0
Karpaty Dnipro 1-1

In my opinion this season Ukrainian Premier League is much more interesting than last season

[kleber]

Still the title is decided.

the second phase with the 1-6 group might be interesting.

in other hand a huge country like Ukraine can not have a 12 club league

[kleber]

Dynamo Kyiv is dead and buried.

let's see what will happen with this club in the next weeks.
