Premier League. Lviv and Rukh secured a place in the elite
The matches of the 24th round of the UPL, which took place on Sunday, were mostly attended by teams from the bottom of the standings.
For many of them, the issue of maintaining a residence permit in the elite division remained relevant, so there were no problems with motivation. In a meeting with Oleksandriya, Rukh, having won a strong-willed victory, secured a place in the UPL for the next season. "Minai" can theoretically catch up with Lviv by points, but in personal meetings the advantage is on the side of Ivan Fedik's wards.
Another team from the capital of Galicia can also catch their breath. Lviv also missed the first in Mariupol, but, like their compatriots from Rukh, then scored twice. Taking into account the defeat of "Minaya", Anatoliy Bezsmertny's team broke away from the last place by 10 points, which two rounds before the finish guarantees it a safe end to the championship.
Mariupol midfielder Artem Bondarenko, called for the May harvest national team of Ukraine on the eve of Euro 2020, came out in the starting lineup and was replaced in the 73rd minute.
Ingulets, which defeated Olimpik in Chernihiv, improved its tournament position. Serhiy Lavrynenko's team broke an unsuccessful series of three defeats and one draw.
The main loser of the season is "Minai". Today, the team from Zakarpattia lost away to Zorya, and now in the matches against Shakhtar and Vorskla they will try to seize the last chance to survive. Olympic, Mariupol and Ingulets are also under threat of relegation.
