The process of splitting the U-19 Championship of the 2019/2020 season into two large groups compared to last review did not stop.

Moreover, the distance in the standings between seventh and eighth place increased to eight points. And although the teams currently have an unequal number of fights (first, due to the odd number of participants due to disqualification of U-19 and U-21 Olympic teams; secondly, because of the several scheduled matches of the 15th round, which were scheduled to take place in early December), there can be no doubt.

But the leaders failed to escape the persecution group and create a handicap. Especially if you look not only at the points scored, but also at the lost ones. Of course, Lviv still needs to win both matches that the team has in reserve compared to Oleksandriya, but if that happens, there will be a distance of only four points between them. And Shakhtar, the only one who did not lose points at all, is a shadow leader in general.

Although the first place is not the first day is occupied by "Alexandria" coach Yuri Gura, and for this the team from the district center should pay tribute. But she still has meetings with Dynamo (away on October 18) and Shakhtar ahead (round 13, base date - November 22). Only then will it be possible to draw more serious conclusions.

The main event of the past month is the defeat of Dynamo by Vorskla. The wards of 33-year-old coach Oleksandr Chyzhov, who played for Poltava last season, won three matches in a row and jumped to the third step of the standings due to this spurt. By the way, interestingly, Vorskla met Kyiv immediately after Dynamo's crushing victory over Shkendia in the UEFA Youth League (8: 0). Probably, Igor Kostyuk's guys succumbed to euphoria after such a powerful result.

Dynamo did not concede goals in four matches in a row, taking into account the UHL, until Ilya Hadzhuk from Vorskla interrupted this series - in the 86th minute of the match. And after that he went to the youth national team of Ukraine.

In addition to Vorskla, Shakhtar and Karpaty scored nine points out of nine possible in the last month, which slightly made up for the loss. Alexandria took seven out of nine. The rest of the teams were limited to either three or four points. And "Mariupol", "Kolos" and "Desna" lost all the matches in general. The three of them have not won a single championship in the championship so far, and Chernihiv residents do without even a draw ...
