DYNAMO KYIV NEWS

Dynamo Kyiv had several thrilling games in the last two months, but it seems it is too late for them to challenge Shakhtar in the race for the title. Shakhtar has 11 points advantage, and with only 7 matches to go, it is very hard to believe that Shakhtar will lose the title. However, if Dynamo beat them, the difference will be "only" 8 points with 6  games to go. Either way, the team from Kyiv didn't beat Shakhtar for 3 years, and they don't need a bigger motive than that.
