The Donetsk players spoke about defeating Dynamo
Olexandr Kucher, Shakhtar defender:
- It was a good game, the audience liked it. Shakhtar have been better than the opponents today, and won just naturally. Now, enjoying a great lead and mood we are leaving for the holiday. I think the guys and the fans are happy. So everything is fine! We were stronger in the second half, taking to the pitch and immediately scoring two goals. Kyiv’s nerves just snapped after that, for which they earned the cards. Everyone understands that the Dynamo vs Shakhtar clash always involves great emotions, numerous challenges, with no one willing to lose. But we still were stronger and achieved a positive outcome. I am glad that we are not resting on our laurels, we play and progress from match to match, claiming points at the same time. What the coach told us in the dressing room? Paulo Fonseca thanked everyone for the work, said that we deserved this result, that we have a great well-knit team and that we can leave for vacation in excellent mood now. He also asked us to rest in order to join in training already in January – we are facing the challenging rest of the season.

First of all I would like to congratulate all the fans of Shakhtar on the win. We earned it. I think today was a good game, with many goals scored. The spectators must have liked the clash
Taras Stepanenko, Shakhtar midfielder:
- First of all I would like to congratulate all the fans of Shakhtar on the win. We earned it. I think today was a good game, with many goals scored. The spectators must have liked the clash. At 3-2, we found it very tough. And it’s clear that Dynamo even, perhaps, would have had chances to score, or at least try to do it, but the sending off spoilt everything for them. In the dressing room, the coach was just saying that nothing had been decided yet. We have numerous games ahead, and we should secure our lead. With defeating Dynamo we have ended the year on an up note and deserved this result, because we worked hard to achieve it.
