The reporting round began with a confrontation in Petrovo, where Ingulets, for whom this was the last test of strength before the Ukrainian Cup final, hosted Obolon-Brovar from Kyiv.

Conditions were dictated by the hosts, but the first shot in the plane of their goal was effective. Legionnaire of the "Brewers" Aramis Kuzin punished the defense of "Ingulets" for negligence, from close range accurately punched into the far corner. By the way, it was this striker who scored for Ingulets in the first round as well. And it is necessary that, having appeared at the gate of the hosts for the second time in 12 minutes, the guests scored again! Igor Medinsky successfully played on the finish, when the ball hit the crossbar after hitting the restless Cousin. 0: 2.

However, this course of events did not derail Serhiy Lavrynenko's wards. Thanks to successful substitutions in the second half, the hosts began to control the ball more often and, most importantly, played faster and more diversely. The Brewers had to defend themselves with great force, but this did not save them. Ingulets scorer Oleksandr Akimenko, who scored one goal in the 72nd minute, reminded me of himself. Another 10 minutes later, in a push near the gate of Kyiv, Oleksandr Kucherenko managed to hit the bottom well. 2: 2. And already in the compensated time the hosts took advantage of the numerical advantage, and after Akimenko's transfer the ex-player of "Obolon-Brovar" Alexander Kozak scored the winning ball.

"For the second time in a row, Ingulets is taking part in the match, which will undoubtedly be the highlight of the current first league championship," said Serhiy Lavrynenko, the head coach of the team from Petrovo. - But if in the previous round in Dnipro we missed a victory, this time, having shown character and purposefulness, we celebrated super-strong-willed victory. I'm sure she will be useful to us in preparation for the final cup match. "

Among Saturday's matches, of course, the focus was on the confrontation in Ivano-Frankivsk, where the players of "Dnipro-1" could get a ticket to the elite division ahead of schedule. To do this, it was enough for them to draw with the local "Prykarpattia". However, the hosts, who once again demonstrated their fighting spirit, had a different opinion. Ivano-Frankivsk scorers Yaroslav Konkolnyak and Bohdan Orynchak were on strike again, forcing the visiting goalkeeper Andriy Klishchuk to capitulate. And Roman Barchuk and Roman Dytko brought the score to a crushing one. 4: 0. Dmytro Mykhaylenko's wards have not lost 15 rounds in a row - and here, such embarrassment…

However, "Metalist 1925" did not keep the victory in the compensated time in Horishni Plavny and therefore, even at best, will not be able to rise above second place. So, with a promotion in the class, "Dnipro-1"!

Meanwhile it continues to please the fans «Volyn» which won strong-willed victory in Nikolaev. Andriy Tlumak's wards are getting closer to the podium, which will allow them to meet in transition matches with one of the outsiders of the elite division.
