Match build-up

Shakhtar women’s team will play the last encounter of the season at home. Roman Zaiev’s outfit have 16 wins and 5 draws after 21 rounds. Such results allows sitting in the 3rd spot alone with 48 points (goal difference: 76-26). The team secured crushing victories over Veres and Dynamo with the same 5-0 score in the previous 2 rounds. Top scorer Yelyzaveta Molodiuk reached 20 goals during the current season.

Lidiia Zaborovets, midfielder:

– Kolos are a great team with high-quality line-up. We are getting ready to face our opponents in a disciplined and responsible manner. It will be the first clash with such degree of responsibility in my career, so I am seriously preparing for the match, as well as the whole team in general.

Opponents

Kolos are the closest pursuers of Shakhtar this season. Liudmyla Pokotylo’s side confidently marched the entire distance: 15 wins, 1 draw, 5 losses (4th spot and 46 points). We want to point out that the Kovalivka-based team almost had no misfires, conceding only against Vorskla. In the previous round, Kolos claimed a narrow win over Pantery owing to the penalty converted by Voronina. By the way, this victory became the 5th one with exactly the same score. The best finisher is Mariana Ivanyshyn (10 goals).

Match background

Shakhtar claimed a narrow 1-0 win against Kolos in the first stage.
