Chronicle
Russian coach Valery Gazzaev, who recently took charge of Dynamo Kiev, won his first trophy in Ukraine - the country's Super Cup. For the first time in the match for this trophy, which before the start of the national championship is contested by the champion and the winner of the national cup, Dynamo Kiev did not meet with Shakhtar Donetsk. Last season, the Ukrainian Cup was sensationally won by Vorskla Poltava.
Gazzaev's team, however, faced difficulties in the game with such an opponent. The Kiev team squandered a lot of chances and were almost punished by the Vorskla players, who also had several opportunities to score Shovkovsky's goal. However, the matter ended in extra time and a series of post-match penalties, in which Dynamo turned out to be more accurate.
The new season in Ukraine begins not only with the debut victory of Valery Gazzaev, but also with a huge scandal. The Kiev court upheld the claim of Dnepr President Igor Kolomoisky and invalidated the registration of the Ukrainian Football Premier League and decided to liquidate it. The organization was registered in violation of the law and for a long time could not elect a president. Thus, a dangerous situation was created in which the results of the last Ukrainian championship could be considered illegitimate, and UEFA could not allow Ukrainian clubs to participate in the Champions League and Europa League. As a result, the club owners must get together within a month and eliminate the shortcomings in their own charter, and then the Football Federation of Ukraine will extend the agreement with the Premier League to host the national championship.
Webber won the first race of his career
Red Bull driver Mark Webber won the Formula 1 Grand Prix for the first time in his career. Having won qualifying the day before, Webber at the beginning of the race waged a heated struggle with Rubens Baricchelo, who started second, and the leaders' cars even collided, for which the Red Bull driver was punished by driving through the pit lane. However, Barichello soon began to have problems with tires, and at the finish he was only sixth. In turn, championship leader Jenson Baton did not have a successful race, and McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton flew off the track at the first turn, returning to the race a lap behind.
