Still, it is a pity that Polissya footballers are not the first to host rivals outside their home walls, as the stadium in Zhytomyr has been under reconstruction for a long time.

Here is the starting match in Novograd-Volynskyi with the participation of contenders for promotion in the group "A" between "Polissya" and Vinnytsia "Niva" attended by only 400 fans. Although, probably, those fans who ignored this confrontation will regret learning how interesting the events unfolded in it, how the intrigue kept everyone in suspense until the final whistle. And opponents, who in turn attacked quite sharply, can only complain about themselves that they did not realize half a dozen goal moments. The fate of the match was decided in the second compensated minute, when the ex-player of "Niva" Roman Adamenko after drawing the standard position adjusted the flight of the ball to the visitors' net. 1: 0.

And the largest audience was gathered in Khmelnytsky, where the geographical neighbors - football players of "Podillya" and Rivne "Veres" - clarified the relations. 2000 fans passionately supported the hosts, but it did not help them even to draw, although the rivalry took place on opposing courses. Fortuna smiled on the guests in the middle of the second half, when Igor Soldat, who joined the offensive, forced the goalkeeper of "Podillya" to capitulate. 0: 1.

- We deserved this victory, because except for the last ten minutes we dictated the conditions, - said the head coach of "Veres" Yuri Wirth. - The task of those players who come on as substitutes is to strengthen the game, but we did the opposite. It is good that it worked out and managed to keep the winning score.

It should be noted the successful performance of the debutants of the second league - "Uzhgorod" and "VPK-Agro", although they played their away matches. By the way, in Chernivtsi only Transcarpathians scored, three goals in the goal of "Bukovina" and one in their own. Former player of the national team of Ukraine Adrian Pukanych coped with the role of the leader in "citizens".

And in Odessa guests from the Dnepropetrovsk region on all components prevailed vis-a-vis from "Real Pharma". The hosts have yet to be satisfied that there was no defeat. Not surprisingly, after the final whistle, the president of FC "Real Pharma" Nikolai Likhovydov admitted that he did not expect such a weak game from his team.
