After the restoration of the championship of Ukraine U-19 passed only two rounds (besides, Shakhtar defeated Arsenal on February 22 in a postponed match of the 8th round - 6: 1), so it is difficult to draw any serious conclusions. Especially - given that the "Olympic" in winter was withdrawn from the competition, and "Volyn" in the 15th round and "Mariupol" in the 16th scored three points without a fight.

Mariupol is one of the three leaders in the spring season. Shakhtar has the best result - nine points, followed by Dynamo and Mariupol - six each. But the Pitmen played more for the match (except for the one with Arsenal, 2: 1 with Vorskla and the helpless outsider Desna with 4: 0). As for the Azovs, in addition to the "technician" with "Olympic", they also beat "Arsenal" - 2: 0.

And perhaps the most interesting match took place on March 7 - the third team of the championship ("Karpaty") hosted the second ("Dynamo") at home. Kyiv under the leadership of Igor Kostyuk won - 2: 1, snatching the victory in the last minutes. Roman Hnativ's boys were the first to score - Vasyl Runich scored from the penalty spot in the 54th minute. Vladislav Supryaga equalized on the 82nd point, and Maksym Zavhorodniy put the winning point on the 88th (also with a shot from the 11-meter mark).

Karpaty could have beaten Dynamo in the standings, but are now five points away. In addition, Kyiv has two more matches in reserve. After losing in a penalty shootout in the 1/8 finals of the UEFA Youth League from Hoffenheim (before this speaker defeated "Juventus" - 3: 0) Kostyuk's team can already find time for warm-ups with Volyn (3rd round) and Zorya (8th round). And in case of two victories, she will already lead the standings.

We have already told about the best teams of the two spring rounds, now it's the turn of the losers. Olympic did not score a single point due to his dismissal. The same result was shown by "Desna" (it is still with zero) and "Vorskla", which went fourth for the winter holidays. Chornomorets and Metalurh scored only one point. But this is only the beginning of the year, 10 more rounds before the finish.
