In the middle of the half, Lviv took the lead. The Pitmen’s defense failed to shoot from the bottom of the Brazilian Shina, who locked at the far post, Alvaro. However, the guests responded with a spectacular detour under the far post from Manor Solomon (30 minutes) – 1: 1.
In the first part of the second 45 minutes, the teams exchanged goals again. First, striker Nazariy Nych brought Lviv ahead, making a quick breakthrough, and Solomon made a double through an individual pass and a kick from under the defenders. Shina scored the winning goal in the 73rd minute. Goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin knocked down the captain of Lviv and the Brazilian realized an 11-meter shot – 3: 2.
That’s how the Galicians broke the losing streak, which lasted three matches – 15 points and 12th place. Shakhtar remained second (39).
Currently, there is a two-week break in the championship due to the national team games. The Pitmen will play their next match on April 4 in Poltava against Vorskla.
