First League. Metalist 1925 slowed sharply in Nikolaev, Volyn is the third

Apparently, even the most devoted fans of Dnipro-1 footballers did not expect that their favorites at the finish line would be so detached from their pursuers.

Dnipro can already easily play the lineup for the debut in the elite division, but the intrigue in the fight for other prizes with each round only intensifies. Especially since we are talking about participants in transitional matches with outsiders in the Premier League.

It is easy to guess that Dmytro Mykhaylenko's wards arrived at the match with the Balkans in a great mood, not hiding their desire to continue the impressive 13-match unbeaten series. However, the guests should not have relaxed, as the Balkans had already proved in the spring that they were a strong nut, which is why the confrontation in Zora was expected with interest.

In the first half, the fight took place on literally every piece of the field, but after the break, the higher individual skill of the guests became apparent. First, Igor Kohut put Dnipro ahead, and soon Zurab Ochigava set the final score. 0: 2. By the way, FC Balkani was officially registered on May 1, 2007, but despite all efforts, the local players failed to achieve a positive result on the day the club was founded, although they are performing better than last season.

As for the pursuers of Dnipro-1, they, unlike the favorite, simply had no right to lose points. "Metalist 1925" visited Nikolaev who lost two home matches in the second part of a season. Of course, Serhiy Shyshchenko's wards wanted to rehabilitate in front of their supporters. And the debut was clearly behind the "citizens": already in the 8th minute experienced Vladislav Wojciechowski opened the scoring with an insidious blow. This gave the hosts inspiration and confidence in their abilities, and before the break Serhiy Kravchenko forced Slobozhan to start from the center of the field again. 2: 0. The question of the winner was practically removed from the agenda, and Nikolaev didn't think to slow down, and in the 47th minute Andrey Kovalev brought the score to devastating. By the way, everything could have ended even worse for the guests, but at the end of the match Bohdan Kushnirenko did not score a penalty. Thus, "Nikolaev" took a confident revenge for defeat in the first round and was fixed in the middle of the tournament table.

"I am very pleased with the wards who have fully completed the installation," said Serhiy Shyshchenko, the hosts' manager. - We studied the game of "Metalist 1925" well, dominated the Kharkiv team in the organization of team actions and took advantage of their mistakes in the center of defense… "

After a long unbeaten run, the Kolos footballers slowed down quite unexpectedly in the spring. Since the next rival of the blacksmiths was an outsider, "Agribusiness", they had a great opportunity to break this streak of failure. And they took this chance. Everything was decided by a well-aimed shot by Vitaly Gavrish at the beginning of the second half (in the 40th minute he did not take a penalty).

But the participants of the confrontation in Ivano-Frankivsk, the footballers of "Prykarpattia" and "Volyn", in April much more often pleased their fans than disappointed. But this time there was no equal struggle. Already in the first half, the legionnaires of the guests Siavash Hagnazari, Mladen Bartulovich and Igor Karpenko forced the hosts to surrender three times. And only before the break Yaroslav Konkolnyak scored a goal of prestige. In the future, Prykarpattia more often controlled the ball, but it almost did not reach the goal moments. In overtime, the guests remained in the minority after the removal of Sergei Petko, but the score did not change. 1: 3.
