First League. Kolos, Volyn and Metalist 1925 continue to define "third extra"

Over the weekend, attention was focused on the confrontations in Dnipro, Lutsk and Kharkiv. Today's match between Metalist 1925 and Ingults was postponed from the 23rd round, and in the 29th round Slobozhany got three points without a fight, because Zirka withdrew from the competition.

Of course, according to the rating, the match in Dnipro should be considered central, where the "citizens", who won a ticket to the elite division ahead of schedule, hosted "Kolos" - the main contender for the transition matches with one of the Premier League outsiders.

In fairness, Dnipro-1 has slowed down a bit lately, while the Kovalevs have managed to overcome a certain game crisis and are showing spectacular football again in May. In addition, with the exception of the disqualified Oleksiy Zozuli, Kolos manager Ruslan Kostyshyn could count on all key performers. First of all, the guests took care that the hosts did not use their formidable weapon - flank attacks. And at the first opportunity resorted to rapid counterattacks. He was inspired by a quick goal - in the 11th minute Oleg Ilyin opened the scoring. Dnipro, where Orest Kuzyk was active, recovered quite quickly thanks to the skillful control of the ball in the middle zone. In the 29th minute, Serhiy Loginov forced the Kovalevs to start from the center of the field. 1: 1. And just before the break, Oleksandr Nazarenko put Dnipro ahead. The events unfolded in the second half as well. The last word was for the experienced midfielder of the hosts Alexei Chichikov. 3: 1.

And in Lutsk, the ambitious "Volyn", which has won six of the last eight matches, clarified relations with "Movement", which in the spring on the road defeated teams from the leading group - "Kolos", "Vanguard" and drew with the finalist of the Cup of Ukraine , "Ingulets". Already in the debut it became clear that the Galicians were well prepared for the reporting match. They outperformed Luchans in speed, which helped them to act effectively in the selection. In the 15th minute after the transfer of Nazar Verbny, Bohdan Boychuk forced Volyn goalkeeper Vitaliy Nedilko to capitulate. Only at the end of the match Luchan's game advantage was not in doubt, and already in overtime they achieved their goal: Mladen Bartulovich converted a penalty and saved the hosts from defeat. 1: 1.

After a draw in the last round in Ivano-Frankivsk, Metalist 1925 players were well aware that now, in order to count on promotion, they should not only win their two matches, but also hope for a misfire of one of the main competitors - Kolos. or "Volyn". However, the beginning of the match was for the guests, who materialized their game advantage in the goal scored by Alexander Akimenko. Slobozhanets had no choice but to add speed, to press more actively, and in the 22nd minute Vladyslav Kravchenko equalized. And thirteen minutes later the hosts remained in the minority - Alexander Zhdanov was removed from the field. Despite the efforts of rivals, the score in the second half did not change. 1: 1.

So, only in the final round it will be determined who will put the company "Dnipro-1" on the podium. There are "Kolos" - "Obolon-Brovar", "Miner-Sport" - "Volyn", "Avangard" - "Metalist 1925".
