In duels of the third preliminary round of the Cup of UkraineIn addition to the winners of the second stage, six clubs of the elite division were involved, which, according to the rating as of the beginning of the season, took places from the seventh to the 12th.

The fact that the senior teams are serious about the fight was already evidenced by the match of "Karpaty" in Sumy, which took place on Tuesday. The Lviv team, by the way, is often called the cup team - primarily due to its rise in 1969, when it won the Union Cup. However, unfortunately, there are seasons in the biography of the "green and whites" when they sensationally left the cup distance after the initial confrontations with little-known counterparts. But this time the Lviv team, despite the fact that they were not in the lineup, easily declassified the wards of Serhiy Zolotnytsky, who worked in the coaching staff of Karpaty a few years ago.

It is hoped that the "citizens" will take into account the mistakes made, and the experience gained will allow them to succeed in the first league. By the way, after the match, the manager of "Karpaty" Jose Morais said that he remembered one of the players of "Sum", however, did not specify who exactly «

As they say, small blood gave victory in Kherson "Desna". And let the fans not be misled by the minimal advantage of Chernihiv in the score - they dictated the conditions, the second time missed at the end of overtime.

There were no problems with getting a ticket to the next round of the competition and the first-league "Ingulets", who scored three goals in Gornostayevka in the goal of "Peace", without missing a single…

However, even lesser-known teams have proved that they have ambitious plans to play in the Cup. In Kalush, Vasyl Malik's charges were supposed to take the lead at the end of the first half in a match against first-league Metalist 1925, but the young Danylo Knysh did not realize his face-to-face with the visitors' goalkeeper Denis Dyakov. As the rivals failed to score goals in regular time, everything had to be decided in overtime, and in the 116th minute the restless Knysh forced the goalkeeper of Slobozhan to capitulate - 1: 0.

Undoubtedly, the current cup tournament and the debutant of the competition at the professional level - "I pass" will be remembered for a long time. Igor Kharkovshchenko's wards also write history. Having overcome at home resistance of the first league «Nikolaev», they already made the way to 1/8 finals of the Cup of Ukraine!

And how not to pay tribute to the players of "Cherkasy-Academy", who, losing - 0: 2 to the team of the Premier League, "Arsenal-Kyiv", managed to equalize the situation, and in extra time, playing in the minority, snatched the victory!

But in the match "Zirka" - "Olympic" did not do without a series of post-match penalties. In this football lottery, Donetsk football players got a lucky ticket to the next round. Fortune in Vinnytsia and "Miner" smiled.

Of course, after the recent crushing victory of Dnipro-1 over Volyn in the calendar match of the first league championship, most of Dmytro Mykhaylenko's wards preferred most experts in the next clash with Luhansk. And they lived up to expectations by celebrating a spectacular victory.

On the eve of the match in Odessa, the management of "Alexandria" did not hide that it was going to throw into battle several youth players. Perhaps this is what prevented guests from demonstrating their best qualities. Chornomorets players took the lead at the end of the first half and after the break, playing for the score, achieved their goal.
