Shakhtar Donetsk vs Polissya Zhytomyr - Premier League

Shakhtar Donetsk dominated nearly every metric that matters - 66 dangerous attacks to Polissya's 27, 11 shots to 6, and control of the game's rhythm throughout - yet they walked away with nothing. Polissya Zhytomyr rode their luck defensively but made their moments count, with Oleksandr Nazarenko converting a Leandro Andrade assist in the 31st minute to set the tone. Shakhtar threw men forward in response, making wholesale changes from the 46th minute onward, but couldn't find a breakthrough despite camping in Polissya's half. The visitors then delivered the killer blow through substitute Oleksandr Andriyevskyi in the 74th minute, another set-piece goal that exposed Shakhtar's inability to defend dead-ball situations. For Shakhtar, sitting mid-table and fighting to justify title-race ambitions, this is a damaging home defeat built on wastefulness in the final third. Polissya, meanwhile, showed the kind of clinical away-day discipline that could push them up the table.
