The winners of the first pass to the strongest class were Rivne footballers, although they lost in a dramatic fight in the 28th round in Lutsk to the local "Volyn".

The hosts opened the scoring in their debut, when Iranian legionnaire Siavash Hagnazari struck a cunning blow into the far corner. But in the middle of the first half Serhiy Panasenko from Rivne suddenly shot Luchany goalkeeper Vitaliy Nedilko. Later, the rivalry took place on opposing courses, and everything went to the signing of a peace agreement. However, in the fourth compensated minute Vladyslav Pryimak headed the ball into the nine Rivne goal. 2: 1.

"Thanks to such drama, football has so many fans," said Volyn head coach Vasyl Sachko after the final whistle. - I will pay tribute to the wards who found strong counterarguments against the forceful manner of the guests. Having won the derby, "Volyn" was somewhat rehabilitated in front of the fans for the unfortunate defeat in the previous round from "Obolon".

However, the people of Rivne did not mourn for long. The next day, quite unexpectedly, one of the leaders, Agribusiness, lost to VPK-Agro at home, and it became clear that Podolians would no longer be able to overtake Veres, which was the first to rise in the class.

"There was no shortage of pessimists who did not believe that Veres, the debutant of the first league, would pass a grueling tournament distance in one go and get a ticket to the elite," said Yuriy Virt, the manager of Rivne. - But we succeeded, with which we want to congratulate the wards, the club's management and fans, we constantly felt their support. Now it's important to stay in first place, then it really will be the end of the season with an exclamation mark! "

Today in Kharkiv the central match of the tour took place, in which the local "Metalist 1925" hosted "Chornomorets". In the 12th minute, Ilya Putrya from Odessa converted a penalty. 0: 1. The hosts only managed to seize the initiative in the second half, twice the goal frame became an ally of Odessa, but the score did not change. "Chernomorets" won and won the second pass to the elite.
