Among the results of the three matches of the Premier League, which started the 9th round on Saturday, it is worth noting the failure of "Alexandria" and the success of "Mariupol".

Volodymyr Sharan's wards, who became the opening part of the season, suffered the second defeat in a row in the city of Azov and risk losing the status of the second team of the championship tomorrow, if Dynamo wins the game against Desna. As the head coach of "Alexandria" noted after the match, he did not see a light in the eyes of his players today, as it was before the match with Shakhtar.

Instead, Mariupol, which started the tournament with a sad series of unsuccessful results, won for the second time in a row and is already in the middle of the table. Three points for Oleksandr Babych's team were scored by Fomin in the debut of the match, who realized a one-on-one match with the goalkeeper. The experienced forward scores in the second match in a row.

The Brazilian legionnaire of FC Lviv Bruno has an even more solid series of results. The midfielder of the "citizens" scored a goal in the fourth match in a row. This time his shot brought the team of Yuri Bakalov a draw in the derby, because the score in the meeting of the two Lviv teams was opened by "Karpaty".

In general, this match became a remarkable sporting event for the capital of Galicia and gathered 8723 fans in the stands of Arena Lviv, which is much more than in previous matches in this city. However, the Portuguese coach of FC Lviv Jose Morais still noted that in comparison with the derbies of Milan, Barcelona and Madrid, which he witnessed, he lacks the atmosphere of the crowded stands «

In another match, Arsenal-Kyiv suffered another defeat, this time against Olimpik, and became even more established as the main loser of the championship. Especially given the progress of "Mariupol", which has long been close to the "gunners".
