Leonid Kovel gave the visitors a surprise third-minute lead, but Diogo Rincon levelled from the penalty spot before Oleg Gusev Maxim Shatskikh sealed the win for the recently-crowned champions in the penultimate round of fixtures.

Dynamo are now 12 points ahead of Shakhtar Donetsk, who were held to a goalless draw by Chornomorets, while FC Metalist Kharkiv consolidated third place with Oleksiy Antonov's strike earning them a 1-0 win over Tavriya Symferopol.

At the other end of the table, Stal said goodbye to life in the top flight with a 1-0 defeat at Kryvbas - Aleksandr Ivaschenko netting the only goal.

Illichivets are clinging on to their top-flight status after a 4-1 rout of Arsenal Kiev, thanks in part to a brace from Oleg Shkred, but are three points adrift of Vorskla and the last position of safety heading into the final round.

Vorskla claimed what could be a crucial point with a 0-0 draw at Metallurg Donetsk.

Elsewhere, two goals from Sergey Kornilenko helped Dnipro to a 3-0 win at FC Zarya Lugansk, while Metallurg Zaporizhzhya were 3-1 victors over FC Kharkiv.
