Zorya end the Dynamo Kyiv run at 18
Every run ends on an afternoon somebody had marked down as routine. This one went 18 matches, which is long enough that a town had stopped counting, and short enough that it will remember exactly who stopped it.

Aliou Thiaré: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Dynamo Kyiv have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Words at Dynamo Kyiv training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kostiantyn Vivcharenko is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Tempers go at Dynamo Kyiv
Vitaliy Buialskyi was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Zorya take the points off Dynamo Kyiv
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

All roads lead to Shakhtar
The fixture the calendar is arranged around. Form goes out of the window, the table is not consulted, and for ninety minutes Dynamo Kyiv will be judged on one thing only.

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Volodymyr Stepanenko to a room that had heard them before.

The manager makes an example of Hussayn Touati
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
In brief
- The dugout Oleksandr Tymchyk has become a man the manager trusts
- Market Borys Manko told to find a new club
- Looking ahead Denys Shostak faces his old club
