First League. After the failures of "Chernomorets" and "Metalist 1925" the rivalry in the leading group intensified

Several unexpected results were recorded in dev'round of the first league championship of Ukraine.

The leader, Chornomorets, seems to have underestimated Niva and ended up missing important points, losing for the first time this season. Odesa took the lead after a direct shot by Artur Avagimyan from the corner at the end of the first half, but after the break the situation on the field changed dramatically. Due to the high pressure, the guests seized the initiative, forced the sailors to make mistakes and celebrated a strong-willed victory. Dmytro Skakun recorded a double for Niva. Serhiy Kovalets' wards, because of their carelessness, instead of increasing their distance from their persecutors, allowed them to get closer.

Sensational, you can't call it otherwise, the result was recorded in Horishni Plavny, where "Girnyk-Sport" hosted an awkward rival - "Metalist 1925". The hosts were better prepared for the match, imposing a tough fight on the guests, for which they were not ready. Yuriy Kozyrenko, a pupil of Dynamo Kyiv, scored a hat-trick, which helped Igor Zhabchenko's wards to consolidate their second position. After this confident victory, the prospects of the local team's performances in the elite division were discussed in Horishni Plavny. At least the club management urgently undertook to modernize the infrastructure. In particular, the Yunost Stadium will take care of installing new lighting, the capacity of which will reach 1800 lux.

In addition to Chornomorets, Polissya also lost for the first time this season. The fate of the match in Lutsk was decided by a single goal scored by Volyn's Bohdan Orynchak in the middle of the second half. Vasyl Sachko's wards started the championship unsuccessfully, but gradually recovered and are already third. And their neighbors from Rivne in the confrontation with "Agribusiness" practically removed from the agenda the question of the winner before the break, when Mikhail Shestakov twice successfully played ahead. 2: 0.

"The Podolians could also open an account," Rivne head coach Yuriy Virt said in a comment to the UAF official website. - But they did not take their chance. We were more fortunate. In the second half, we already played on the score, taking care of the reliability of the rear. This victory can not but rejoice, because it was won over an opponent who is one of the best in the organization of the game in the first league. I am convinced that "Agribusiness" will still make up for lost time. "

The program of the ninth round ended with today's match in Kramatorsk, where the avant-garde hosted the Alliance. Already in the debut, the guests opened the score after a shot by Valery Rogozynsky. And after the break, Yuri Yaroshenko's wards remained the masters of the situation. In the 64th minute, Avangard defender Dmytro Shinkarenko sent the ball into his own net, and soon Vladyslav Sharay brought the case to defeat. 0: 3.
