Note: According to the decision of the Football Federation of Ukraine (FFU) Control and Disciplinary Committee (CDC) of 9 August 2010,[4] the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) of 2 August 2013 was to annul the result of the match Metalist Kharkiv v Karpaty Lviv.[5] Both teams suffered technical defeats, and Metalist was deprived of that season's bronze medals. Later Metalist was disqualified from the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League and that season's European competitions, because of this match.[6] In August 2010, Serghei Lașcencov was given a lifetime ban from football for his involvement in fixing the match. On 17 October 2010, his ban was reduced to five years, a decision that was upheld by CAS in August 2013.[7][8]
