The last winter day became the football year opening in Dnipropetrovsk. After two-month break in the championship Dnipro has host Zorya Lugansk. Our team has played the first half well despite one very dangerous counterattack from Lazarovich, and goal from Konoplyanka illustrated Dnipro advantage. Young Dnipro talent has finished in touch aerial pass from Ferreyra.

But after the break Zorya was more motivated and active. Lugansk team has equalized on the 52th minute. Skoba scored by head after Shevchuk's cross.

After that Dnipro has shoed its power. Homenyuk has finished Kalinichenko's corner kick. Dnipro had several more good chances but missed them. And in the added time it was shock. Zorya equalized again – Lazarovich used Pashaev's mistake – 2:2.
