Khmelnytskyi Podillya broke the winning streak of the leader of group A - Uzhhorod. Legionnaire Fadi Salbak, who was born in Israel but has Canadian citizenship, proved to be the best for the hosts. He opened the scoring in his debut, after a multi-pass combination in the fall, pushing the ball into the goal. 1: 0.

However, this did not derail the Transcarpathians, and in the 22nd minute, ex-player of the national team of Ukraine Adrian Pukanych leveled the situation with a powerful blow. At the beginning of the second half, the restless Salbak again skillfully played ahead and brought his team forward. 2: 1. And after Uzhhorod was left with nine, Podolians easily brought the game to a victorious end.

And in the central match of the round in Group B, Kharkiv's Metal hosted Tavriya Simferopol. In the 15th minute, the captain of Slobozia Ruslan Fomin could open the score, but did not take a penalty. The hosts tilted the scales to their side only after the break. In the 59th minute, Volodymyr Tanchyk forced the visitors' goalkeeper to surrender with a low shot. Shortly afterwards, Andriy Fayuk adjusted the ball's flight to the net from a close range after a standard position. 1: 1. But in the 73rd minute, an experienced defender of "Metal" Vitaly Fedorov with a spectacular shot through himself brought his team such a desirable victory.

"The game turned out to be rich in emotions, there was no lack of fierce struggle, because no one wanted to give up," Metal head coach Oleksandr Kucher said in a comment to the official UAF website. - We had information about the ability of guests to press, about their home-made pieces during the drawing of standard provisions. That is why it was important to get out of custody and make Tavriya Simferopol think more about defense. It is also gratifying that, having missed for the first time in the season, my wards showed character, added momentum and snatched such a coveted victory. "

"It is in such confrontations as with Metal that you are convinced of what your wards are really worth," Serhiy Shevchenko, the head coach of Tavria Simferopol, said in a comment to the official UAF website. - We lost the game, although if we realized all the goal moments created in the first half, everything could have ended differently. In general, "Tavria Simferopol" played tactically competently, I entrusted the place on the field to those performers who could level the strengths of their counterparts from "Metal". But still the opponent's class turned out to be higher. "
