After the Donetsk derby, the Pitmen gave their comments
Bernard, Shakhtar midfielder:
- Producing a great performance in the first half does not necessarily means that your team will eventually win. It's a pity we have not converted a great number of scoring efforts. What to do next? We need to learn the lesson from this match, continue to work even harder and try to avoid such mistakes in the future. Olimpik are troublesome rivals for us, indeed. However, those two fixtures turned out a bit different. In the first one, the poor quality of the turf affected the performance, but tonight we have faced a problem of poor realization of our scoring chances. Nevertheless, it is not a big deal, as you need to look only forward and think about future wins. For the remaining league fixtures, the motivation must be out-of-limit. For us, every win is very important points. Under no circumstances, we have the right to melt down. Our arch rival Dynamo Kyiv hold second spot, so we must vie and work to win until the very end. Maximum concentration and work will lead us to success.

We have played out a good match and created plenty of opportunities. In the first half, we could have scored three or four times, but conceded a ridiculous goal after losing concentration. It's good that we levelled the scoreline
Ivan Ordets, Shakhtar defender:
- We have played out a good match and created plenty of opportunities. In the first half, we could have scored three or four times, but conceded a ridiculous goal after losing concentration. It's good that we levelled the scoreline. At the break, the head coach asked us to continue demonstrating our football and control the possession. In general, the game was coming easily, but we did not manage to convert our clear-cut efforts. Olimpik operated beautifully defensively and the keeper produced saves, with the opponents earning an important point eventually. We come onto the pitch longing to win every game, but today, we had ill luck. We will continue to work harder, as we must score and win the matches to come.
