Today matches of the U-19 Championship of the 2019/2020 season are resumed.

The pause for the national team match is over, many football players have returned to their clubs from the U-19 and U-17 teams (yes, some of the 2003 birthdays are already playing at U-19 level) with a great mood. After all, in November, both the team of Oleg Kuznetsov and the team of Alexander Petrakov in the first stage of the selection for Euro-2020 took first place in their groups.

However, some took advantage of the break and played their match of the 14th round earlier, the base date of which is November 29. Volyn and Metalurh turned out to be very practical on November 15, and Volyn played a match of the 15th round against Zorya in October, so tomorrow, after today's game against Dnipro-1, they can go on winter vacation ahead of schedule. , first of all.

Dnipro-15 and Oleksandriya (they played in September) also resigned from the games of the 6th round (base date - December 1), but they will still play on the field in the 14th round. The Alexandrians might also have followed the path of Volyn, but on November 15 they finished the match of the 11th round against Vorskla, which they did not attend due to the epidemic.

After all past review Yuri Gura's team, which topped the standings in mid-October, did not look very confident and scored only two points in three matches. Oleksandriia lost to Dynamo (0: 1) and parted ways with Volyn (3: 3) and Vorskla (1: 1). Only obvious outsiders - "Kolos" and "Desna", who lost all matches, performed worse this season.

And the best team for the period from October 16 to November 15 was ... "Metallurg". Zaporizhzhya under the leadership of Vyacheslav Tropin scored 10 points in five matches. Dynamo Igor Kostyuk won the same amount in four games, but Kyiv has a worse difference between goals scored and goals conceded - +5 against +7. By the way, Metalurh was very close to the 11th point in a month, but in the match played in advance with Volyn they did not hold a draw and missed in overtime - 2: 3.

Shakhtar has scored nine points in the last month (four matches), Zorya (three), Karpaty (four) and Volyn (five). The Pitmen topped the standings, although they lost to Dynamo in a personal meeting - 1: 2. It happened in the 10th round on October 27 at Shakhtar's field in the village of Shchaslyvy near Kyiv. The hosts did not take a penalty (Georgy Sudakov) and lost the first half (goal by Yaroslav Nadolsky). Immediately after the break, Mykhailo Mudryk restored the balance in the score, but in the 70th minute Artem Shulyansky put the winning point.

It should also be noted that Dynamo and Shakhtar have played two matches in the UEFA Youth League for the last month. The Pitmen - with Zagreb's Dynamo (1: 1, 0: 1), Kyiv - with Shkendija from Northern Macedonia (2: 2) and Greek PAOK (3: 0).
