A match took place in Alexandria today, which can be considered central in the 15th round of the Premier League: the teams fighting for European Cup tickets met.

Vladimir Sharan's wards are uncomfortable rivals for Luhansk this season. "Alexandria" won in first round matches, and in cup duel (in a series of 11-meter). Moreover, the defeat in the championship in the summer was the first for Zorya under the leadership of Viktor Skrypnyk. Today, the "citizens" also proved to be stronger, breaking the record winning club series of the opponent in the UPL, which amounted to four matches.

The hosts were not very upset by the failure with an unrealized penalty: in the 23rd minute, the experienced Grechishkin made a mistake, performing an 11-meter - the visitors' goalkeeper Shevchenko got the ball in the corner of the goal. "Alexandria" continued to bend its line and in the second half embodied its advantage in the goal of Banada, which was the only one in the match. After this result, the density of commands at the top of the table increased. "Alexandria" is equal to "Desna" and "Dynamo", which will play their matches tomorrow, and is only one point behind "Zorya".

As for the candidates for the national team of Ukraine, Ivanisenya played a full match for Zorya, and Pankiv from Oleksandriya missed the match due to disqualification.

In another match of the Vorskla tour in the debut game under the leadership of Yuri Maksimov on the road lost to Dnipro-1 with a minimum score.
