FC Dynamo Kyiv were held to a goalless draw at FC Karpaty Lviv on Tuesday night.
Wintery conditions
The UEFA Champions League contenders, who need just a point from their final Group E game at home against Juventus FC to be certain of a place in the second group stage, could not break down the home team on a freezing night at the Ukraina stadium. A crowd of 10,000 braved blizzard-like conditions in Lvov but play was effectively shackled by the weather.
Title challenge
The result sees Dynamo take a narrow lead over their local rivals FC Arsenal Kyiv, although both sides remain five point adrift of the Ukrainian Premier League's top two, FC Shakhtar Donetsk and FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, who have earned 35 points each from their 14 games.
