The 26th round of the Premier League championship started on Saturday with two matches of the second six teams. Vorskla and Olimpik won, both of which were strong-willed.

Poltava show character in the second round in a row. Four days ago, Vitaliy Kosovsky's wards saved from defeat in the game with "Desna" after a hopelessly lost first half. Now the green and whites have gone even further - again lost the starting 45 minutes, but eventually won, which was their first in 2019. The last time Vorskla won was on December 8, when it also took place in Odessa.

The result of today's match probably upset the people of Odessa. During the game, Angel Chervenkov's team had an advantage, which was embodied in the debut goal in Ukraine of Iceland's Wilhamsson. In addition to the goal, the hosts created other goal opportunities, in particular, did not take a penalty. Vorskla goalkeeper Tkachenko coped with Koval's 11-meter kick. And at the end of the meeting Poltava residents were very lucky. First, the ball hit the hand of Black, and the right to a penalty was given to the guests, who took full advantage of it. And then after Gabelko's blow and a ricochet from a rack and a back of the goalkeeper of "Chernomorets" Kozhukhar there was also a winning goal for Poltava.

In the second match, the teams competed for the ninth place, which in the tournament eliminates the need to hold a transitional match with the first-league contender for a place in the Premier League. And "Karpaty", having conceded to "Olympic" in Kiev, allowed the opponent to bypass itself in the table. The hosts were the first to score. Lviv, who played without their Swedish leader, who suffered an ankle injury, responded with goals from legionnaires Di Franco and Ponde, but did not keep the winning score. Shortly before the end of the match, Igor Klymovsky's team scored twice in one minute and won the second victory under the interim head coach.
