Metalist Leaves It Late... Real Late!

Only in the fifth minute of injury time was Metalist Kharkiv, the team that massacres opponents in the Europa League, able to score the winning goal against Obolon Kyiv, the last-placed team in the Ukrainian league.

Serhiy Pshenychnykh was the one who scored. His was a powerful shot, from outside the box, exactly when both the goalkeeper and the rest of the Obolon defense were dreaming of the final whistle and forgetting about blocking all chances for shooting.

Seeing that goal, and only that goal, one will probably wonder: "And this was barely in minute 90 +5? Where was this kind of game play in the rest of the game?" 

Well, anyway, the three points are theirs now, and the nice thing is that finally somebody seemingly has the potential to break the domination of the big two (Dynamo Kyiv and Shakhtar Donetsk).
At the current time, Dynamo has 52 points, Shakhtar has 51, and Metalist 50. (But not to forget that Metalist played one more game.)
