After a 25-year break, Mukachevo has regained representation in Ukrainian big football. The local Munkach marked this extraordinary event with an important victory over Chernihiv - 1: 0. The fate of an interesting confrontation was decided by a single ball scored by Maxim Girny.

Literally on the eve of the start in the second league, Karpaty from Halych was led by Lyubomyr Vovchuk, who last season coached other Karpaty from Lviv. Despite the fact that Prykarpattia residents still have considerable personnel problems, this did not prevent them from overcoming the resistance of the debutant - "Lubomyr" (3: 0) without much effort.

But the bench of another newcomer of group "A", "Left Bank", is defended by a whole group of players with experience in the elite domestic division. We are talking about Vitaliy Reva, Mykola Ishchenko, Pavel Ksyonz, Artem Stargorodsky, Oleg Karamushka. And although the rival of Kyiv, LNZ, also did not lack famous performers, Anatoliy Buznik's wards snatched the victory - 2: 1.

As for the rivalry in Group B, the most intense was the confrontation in Nova Kakhovka, where Energia hosted FC Real Pharma. At the beginning of the second half, the guests led (3: 1), but Eduard Khavrov's wards not only leveled the score, but also scored the decisive goal in stoppage time thanks to the efforts of Mykola Khimenyuk, who came on as a substitute. In the end - 4: 3.
