Previous meeting
On April 24, the Miners hosted Kryvbas at the Kniazha Arena. The Orange-and-Blacks entered the game more actively and took the territorial advantage. The key episode happened in the 61st minute when Henyk brought Tian down in own penalty area and the referee pointed to the spot. Ustinova parried Semkiv's attempt, but Violeta Tian hit the goal. Kryvbas started using a low block and played defensively, while Shakhtar attacked and tried to equalize, but failed to break through the opponents' dense defence and narrowly lost to Kryvbas 0-1.
