Ukraine Premier League: Dnipro Surprises Shakhtar Donetsk, 2-0

BALTIMORE, Maryland March 25, 2014 - Despite the turmoil, the games continue to go forth. On Sunday, Dnipro beat powerful Shakhtar Donetsk, 2-0.

Artem Fedeckyj scored at time in the first half to put Dnipro ahead and Matheus Nascimento hit the back of the net in the 83 minute to give the visitors a bit of breathing room over the final minutes.
