In the 10th round, by the will of the calendar, there were two teams that best spend the autumn segment, — Rukh hosted Obolon-Brovar.

The guests were ready for the starting attacks of Lviv, moreover, in the 15th minute they carried out a high-speed counterattack, which was completed by Igor Medinsky. 0: 1. In the future, the "brewers" clearly adhered to the plan for the game, acted closely in the middle zone and reliably - with insurance in defense. In the second half, I remember only a moment with the participation of the home scorer Danylo Kondrakov, but the guests after his shot were saved from trouble by the rack. Kyiv won the fourth victory in a row and caught up with the leader - "Agribusiness", which the day before overcame the "Vanguard" (2: 1), which has recently slowed down.

"My wards were pleased with the coordinated actions, although Rukh often threatened our goal," said Serhiy Kovalets, the leader of the Brewers, after the final whistle. - It must be acknowledged. Fortunately, our goalkeeper Nazariy Fedorovsky was on top. But in general, the guys performed the setup for the match. It is also important that they withstood the high dynamics of the game. "

"I praised the wards for their strong-willed qualities," said Rukh head coach Leonid Kuchuk. - You know, it happens that the ball stubbornly does not fly into the goal. But, except for the first 20 minutes, we controlled the course of events on the field. Unfortunately, emotions often interfered. That's when they started acting with a cold head, the game became different. It's just a pity that we never managed to strike a effective blow… »

If the confrontation in Lviv was attended by 4200 spectators, in Kharkov, where "Metalist 1925" hosted "Volyn", there were even more - 5860. The rivalry kept everyone in suspense almost to the final whistle, because the goal that finally tipped the scales on Yaroslav Yampol scored for Metalist 1925 only in stoppage time.

"We can't record the first half in our assets," said the head coach of Slobozia Andriy Demchenko. - Quite often we made mistakes in simple situations, giving guests a lot of space and opportunities to own the ball. Immediately after the break, we opened the score, Volyn started to attack even harder, but we managed to hold on, waiting for our chance and in the counterattack scored the second goal, which consolidated our victory. I will mention Yaroslav Yampol, who had problems with his ankle, but as they say, he played the whole match on the morale, and even struck a productive blow… »

Unfortunately for fans, "Prykarpattya", "Kremin", "Cherkasy" and "Metallurg" continue to fall. After the change on the coaching staff, Girnyk-Sport celebrated its second victory in a row. Finally, Chornomorets broke the line of failures, in which Vitaliy Starovik performs the duties of the head coach after the resignation of Angel Chervenkov.
