Ukrainian Premier League 2005-06
Encyclopedia
The 2005–06 Ukrainian Premier League season was the fifteenth since its establishment.
The season started on July 12, 2005 with six games of the first round. The last day of the competition was May 10, 2006. However, because the top two teams have finished with equal amount of points, it was decided to conduct a decisive game between them, which was named as the Golden Match. The game took place soon upon the conclusion of the regular season on May 14. The winner of the championship final became Shakhtar Donetsk that managed to defeat Dynamo Kyiv 2:1 and for the first time winning its second consecutive title and third over all. The top scorers competition was also tied between two foreigners Brandão
from Brazil
and Emmanuel Okoduwa
from Nigeria
. Both players won their individual award scoring 15 goals.
Both Shakhtar and Dynamo lost only once Shakhtar at home to Dynamo, while Dynamo lost its only game at home to Dnipro. Both Shakhtar and Dynamo also finished 30 points away from the closest trailing team in the standings. A good season had FC Illichivets Mariupol tying for the fourth together with FC Metalist Kharkiv
and FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk
. Also could be left unnoticed the big return of the Odessa sailors
that finally earn their next set of medals for the first time since returning to premiers. Out of the newly promoted teams a good performance showed FC Stal Alchevsk
that were just a point shy to stay among the top 10.
Both clubs from the Western Ukraine
, FC Volyn Lutsk
and FC Zakarpattia Uzhhorod, were forced into relegation due to their poor performance.
