Restart of the championship of Ukraine in the First league'will be remembered with several unexpected results at once.

The sensation took place in Kremenchuh, where Kremin, which has significantly renewed its ranks, easily overcame the Ukrainian Cup semifinalist - Mynai, who does not hide its ambitious plans to promote. The fate of a tense match was decided by a single goal scored at the beginning of the second half by the newcomer of the hosts Dmytro Sula, who skillfully realized his face-to-face with the visitors' goalkeeper.

The failure of the Transcarpathians was immediately taken advantage of by Ingulets, who in a stubborn struggle snatched victory from the unyielding Miner-Sport. The hosts faced staffing problems, because for various reasons they could not help Maxim Kovalev, Vitaly Pavlov, Vladislav Ignatiev, Artem Chorniy and Dmitry Fateev, and the guests almost took advantage of these losses vis-à-vis. Only at the end of the match Oleksandr Mishurenko managed to score the winning goal - the goalkeeper of the rivals Roman Dankovych made a mistake. Ingulets guaranteed itself the first line in the standings for at least a day.

"You can't deny my wards the desire, but there was a lack of composure", - said Serhii Lavrynenko, the head coach of Inhulets, after the final whistle. "Still, thanks to our fighting qualities, we managed to gain valuable points."

"For various reasons, we have been preparing for the restart of the championship for only two weeks," said the manager of the guests Igor Zhabchenko. - Therefore, it is not surprising that before the break we lacked teamwork, we often made mistakes in simple situations. But for the second half I'm not ashamed. It's a pity they didn't hold a draw… »

Another contender for promotion in the class, Obolon-Brovar, which hosted Avangard, lost important points. Moreover, if not for the Brewers' goalkeeper Nazariy Fedorivskyi, who parried two penalties, Kyiv would hardly have escaped defeat. Especially considering that the second 11-meter goal was scored in the 89th minute.

And finally - about the match between Chornomorets and Volyn, which took place on the evening of June 25. In case of victory, Luhansk was ahead of Ingulets and returned home as leaders. However, they did not succeed. In the 18th minute, Andriy Tlumak's charges opened the scoring after a well-aimed shot by Rostyslav Voloshinovych, but before the break Odesa equalized - Artur Avagimyan scored. And at the beginning of the second half Vladyslav Klymenko scored a penalty, and "Chornomorets" was already ahead, in addition, Ivan Tsyup was removed from Volyn. Denis Yanakov, who came on as a substitute, finally buried Volyn's hopes of escaping. At the end of the match, the ball was twice more in the goal of Lutsk, and the guests managed to score only one more goal. "Chernomorets" under the leadership of the new leader, Sergei Kovalets, wins a spectacular victory - 5: 2.
