The matches of the Premier League, which took place on Saturday, were not very productive. Six teams managed to score only five goals. As a result - three victories with a minimum score.

"Vorskla" managed to interrupt the confident move of "Alexandria". Poltava recently seemed to have found their game, in three rounds they won two games in one draw, scoring seven goals. But the team of Vladimir Sharan, which soon to start in the Europa League group tournament, in late summer, too, is progressing slightly. Last season's bronze medalists, with the exception of the defeat in the last round against Desna, have already won three of the last four matches and pulled up to the "medal zone" in the table.

Guests who now perform without the injured key creative artist Kowalc were able to score beyond the standard. Having successfully executed a corner, the Alexandrians led in the score thanks to Shastal's goal and brought the game to victory. At the end of the Pardut duel, which was marked a week ago double at the gate of "Colossus", had a chance to bring "Vorskla" a draw, but this time he was unlucky.

In the meeting of two absolute newcomers of the elite division, Dnipro-1 won, which thanks to which bypassed the opponent in the standings. Dmytro Mykhaylenko, the hosts' manager, managed to beat his former Dnipro partner Ruslan Kostyshyn, who heads Kolos. Kovalivka won after the first half, but the pressure of the hosts in the second 45 minutes was noticeable. Kohut scored the decisive ball in stoppage time, when there were 15 seconds left before the final whistle…

It is difficult to call the final game of Saturday night in Lviv spectacular. In the first half, Lviv and Mariupol almost did not threaten each other's goal, but after the break Vakula successfully orientated himself in the opponent's penalty area and scored accurately almost without attempting in the near corner. At the end of the match, Lviv, we must pay tribute to them, made a lot of efforts to equalize the score, but the goalkeeper of the guests Khudzhamov acted perfectly.
