Shakhtar Loses Ground

Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk played valiantly in Donetsk on Sunday, and succeeded to take one point from the champions.

They even opened the scoring, in minute 29, but Shakhtar tied it only 11 minutes later. Lucescu's team could not get the win, however.

Given Dynamo Kyiv 's victory, 1-0 against Arsenal Kyiv, the gap between Shakhtar and the leaders increases by two points, to three. Dynamo has 55, Shakhtar 52.
And Metalist is now closer to Shakhtar than Shakhtar is to Dynamo. The Kharkiv team is trailing the Donetsk team by 2 points.

The second-placed team in the Ukrainian Premier League gets to participate in the Champions League play-offs, with a chance to reach the group stage.
