Shakhtar head coach Igor Jovicevic made a short comment after the match against Dnipro-1

– Now, after the match, we should congratulate Dnipro-1 on their victory. We have to give them a credit: the team look great, powerful, with pragmatic football, offering play in space through Dovbyk with his characteristics and quality. The things we have planned, the things I have personally planned, did not work out, and the scoring can give such a brief analysis. However, we equally didn’t want to deviate from our play through control over the ball: to hold on to the ball, draw out, play between the lines, threaten. But it turned out today that the space offered by Dnipro-1 was more effective than the ball. They used the space on the counter-attacks and this allowed them to score two goals. And we have to withstand the blow, we have to use this defeat and analyse it. There are still many rounds, many points ahead, but today it turned out that Dnipro-1 scored two goals and we can say that they deserved the victory.
