Shakhtar silence Dynamo Kyiv
A derby is never about the football alone, but the football helped: 1‑0, and the away end emptied early. Bragging rights renewed for another season.

A European night to remember for Shakhtar
1‑1 against Austria Wien, under lights, against people who do not speak the same language as the crowd. These are the evenings a club measures its decade in, and there are never as many of them as anybody expects.

1 on the scoresheet on his first appearance and a mark of 8.54 beside it. Most debuts are got through; this one was enjoyed, by him and by everybody watching it.

A brace, and Newertton takes the afternoon — 8.41
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Newertton provided it, and the 8.41 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Oleh Ocheretko raises the bar for Shakhtar
“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Shakhtar heard it as anything else.
