Both sent off
Goalkeeper Goalkeeper Oleh Ostapenko and team captain Valentin Platonov have been given ten-match and five-match bans respectively.

Aghahowa also banned
Shakhtar striker Julius Aghahowa was also given a three-match ban for an incident involving a Kryvbas defender during the same game. Another three-match ban has been handed to FC Dynamo Kyiv's Aleksandr Khatskevich after he assaulted FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk player Ruslan Rotan in the last league game before the winter break.
