Andriy Pyatov. Ukraine's Andriy Shevchenko restored parity within 11
minutes but was later substituted after picking up an injury. Soon
after the interval Shakhtar Donetsk’s Oleksiy Gai put Ukraine ahead,
when Sergiy Nazarenko crossed the ball to the near post for Oleksiy to

At the start of each summer Dynamo camp opens its doors for Valeriy
Lobanovskyy Youth Academy pupils. This year is no exception. The camp,
which is traditionally located in Koncha-Zaspa, already welcomes
first-session campers, aged 14-16, who will stay there for two weeks.
As usual, the camp program provides a mix of sports and leisure
activities. Besides, children will have the Koncha-Zaspa training
centre pitches at their disposal, so they will be able to train twice a
day. “Our primary mission is simple,” - explained Anatoliy Shepel, Youth Academy Director.
- “We just want to keep children away from computers as they loose
communication skills and spend most of their time with machines.

our camp serves as a uniting place. Not all of them will become
football stars, but I’m sure that their friendship will last all their
lives”.
