In a spectacular match at the "Dnipro-Arena" there were four goals and three withdrawals.

The match between Dnipro-1 and Vorskla, which opened the program of the 5th round of the UPL, delighted the fans with a fascinating plot and dramatic outcome. The Poltava team, which makes a great impression at the start of the season and can claim the title of opening the tournament, missed the first - after a corner Nazarenko scored.

However, even before the break Poltava played back (Kulach scored with his head from Perduta's pass), and in the second half they were already leading. Kane, thanks to his individual actions, beat several rivals and scored the second goal for Vorskla. After that, there were withdrawals in the teams of both teams, as a result of which the guests finished the match in a total of nine. And Dnipro-1 took advantage of this. The U-20 world champion Bulets equalized the score in the last compensated minute with a long shot.

By the way, this game was the first for Vorskla manager Yuri Maksimov after he recently extended his contract with the club for a year, until the end of May 2022. At the same time, the new coach of Dnipro-1, Ihor Yovichevych, scored the first point in the UPL at the head of his current team.

There was also a withdrawal in the Lviv derby. Rukh met Lviv for the first time in the UPL championship, and the match between the two outsiders of the current season ended without goals (it should be noted that Rukhiv played in the minority for almost a half after Paramonov's red card). The townspeople earned the first point to the standings in this draw.

In another match, two debutants of the elite division met. Ingulets and Minai exchanged goals from the penalty spot and parted ways. It should be noted that the hosts also failed to realize the numerical advantage they gained due to the removal of Pinyashka. By the way, both matches of last season between these teams in the first league championship ended with a score of 1: 1.
