Even in the previous round in the match between Bukovyna and Minaya, it was difficult to guess who was the leader and who was the outsider. Chernivtsi footballers, although grazing the rear, but dictated their terms, and only annoying mistakes in the implementation of goal moments prevented them from winning.

And it is necessary that in the next round, by the will of the calendar, Vitaliy Kunitsa's wards should find out the relations with "Polissya", which after the misfire of "Minaya" headed the standings! But also in Shchaslyve, where Polissya holds its home matches, the Bukovynians proved that they have become a storm of authority.

Nominal hosts only in the debut made several dangerous attacks, but at the height was the goalkeeper of the guests Mark Medvedev. Gradually, thanks to skilful actions in the selection, the Bukovinians pushed the game away from their possessions, and after the break they seized the initiative altogether. However, Eduard Matveenko, Yaroslav Galenko, Oleksandr Vechtomov missed from advantageous positions, and Vitaliy Kuziv's shot from close range was parried by Polissya goalkeeper Oleksandr Lytvynenko. Zhytomyr's manager Anatoliy Bezsmertny had no choice but to make urgent adjustments, and Serhiy Sukhanov, who came on as a substitute, first aimed at the post, and then Medvedev pulled the ball under his crossbar after his shot.

And yet the last word was left to the guests. Oleksandr Zhumyha, a pupil of the Bukovyna sports school, punished the Polissya stoppers for inconsistency in action and elegantly threw the ball over Litvinenko from the penalty area. 0: 1.

"There was a lot of fighting on the viscous lawn," said Bukovyna head coach Vitaliy Kunitsa after the final whistle. - I set the wards the task of not losing the center of the field, and after the break, taking up pressure, we began to control the ball more often and scored such a long-awaited goal. I am grateful to the guys for their character, we scored three important points, although there was a lack of disqualified leading players - Ledik Melkonyan and Andriy Ponedelnik… »

Of course, after the failure of Polissya, Minaya now has a chance to regain first place. But the opponents of Zakarpattia, Chaika's footballers, had a different opinion. The only thing that Igor Kharkovshchenko's wards managed to do was to reduce the gap to the minimum in the 90th minute thanks to an accurate shot by Anatoliy Nuriev. 1: 2.

As for the rivalry in group "B", there were no surprises. The leaders, as if by agreement, celebrated another victory, although the "metallurgists" in Zaporozhye missed the first.
