The first playoff games were held for the right to play in the first league next season.

First, the rivalry ended in Sumy, where the "citizens" hosted one of the best teams of the second division - "Cherkasy-Academy". Before the break, despite all efforts, rivals failed to excel. And in the second half, the hosts, playing in the first league, were in the role of boys to beat. In the 58th minute, Oleksandr Medved opened the scoring, and in four minutes Maksym Zelenevych forced the Sumy goalkeeper to capitulate for the second time. The attacks of the guests did not subside, and in the 70th minute Vitaliy Tymofienko brought the case to defeat, and soon the result was summed up by Vadym Chorny. 0: 4. Oleksandr Kyryliuk's wards practically guaranteed themselves a promotion.

The fight was a bit more stubborn in another match, in Zaporizhia, where the "metallurgists" clarified their relations with "Agribusiness". Here, too, the conditions were dictated by the guests - outsiders of the first league, who before the break almost removed the question of the winner from the agenda, because they won after the blows of Igor Kuril, who scored a double, and Arsen Slotyuk - 3: 0. In the second half, the hosts added speed, more often owned the ball, but it did not reach the goal moments. The last word was left for Podolians: in the 86th minute Ruslan Chernenko hit the target from a sharp angle. 0: 4. Convincing victory of Andriy Donets' wards!
