Shakhtar lost to Zorya Luhansk at home
Maryan Faryna has made his debut appearance with the captain's armband on, and Ivan Losenko has played for Oskar Ratulutra's team for the first time since December.
Scarce chances
The opening 15 minutes were controlled by Zorya: the visitors dominated possession in midfield. One of the positional attacks ended in Tuzenko’s attempt - Puzankov parried it away. Bendera created the first scoring opportunity for Shakhtar: Ivan burst through the left flank into the penalty area, but his cross was intercepted by the Luhansk defenders. Then Yuschenko delivered a similar cross, but the ball did not reach Shevchenko. In the 40th minute, Zorya opened the scoring: after a corner-kick, Yelets was the first on the rebound, making it 0-1.
Wasted opportunities
At half-time, Oskar Ratulutra refreshed the game with substitutions by releasing Rosputko and Havryliuk, which immediately bore fruit. In the 49th minute, Hluschenko earned a spot-kick, but Losenko failed to convert it for the first time this season. In the second half, the Black-and-Whites played to keep the score, without creating many chances in the Miners’ penalty area. Midway through the second half, Nahnoinyi made a set-piece attempt, but his effort turned out to be easy prey for Puzankov. In the dying stages, Makhynia promptly burst into the penalty area after Faryna's splitting pass and saw Saputin rushing out just in time. Then Bako tried to reach Kozishkurt with a high ball, but Basovskyi got ahead of Oleh by a split second. In stoppage time, Kristian Bako was close to hitting the top left corner with a bent effort.
0-1 - the Orange-and-Blacks suffered a defeat to Zorya. In the next round of the U19 Championship, there will be a Donetsk derby: Shakhtar U19 will play Olimpik U19.
