It seems that the leaders of group "A", "Left Bank" and "LNZ" do not care where to win - at home or away. For them, any field is their own.

Here and in the next, 7th round, Kyiv defeated Rubicon on the road - 2: 0, and the team from Cherkasy went to Petropavlovsk Borshchahivka, where they defeated "Chaika" - 4: 0. Although in fairness it should be said that all his goals were scored by Yuri Bakalov's wards in the second half.

More and more fans come to the home matches of Zaporizhzhya Metalurh. In the match against Tavriya, which also does not hide its desire to rise in the class, 3152 of them gathered at Slavutych Arena. And they did not lose, because they witnessed an interesting and tense confrontation. The hosts took the lead in the 6th minute, when Oleksiy Sidorov took advantage of a targeted pass from Bohdan Mohylny. But soon after the guests after the draw of the standard position managed to attack at a second pace, and Andrew Barladim leveled the score.

In the future, the rivalry took place on opposing courses, but the Zaporozhians attacked more sharply. And in the 87th minute, they still tilted the scales to their side: the guests played with their hand in their penalty area, and Eugene Kovalenko clearly executed the referee's sentence - 2: 1. "Metallurg" is fixed in the leading group.

And the leader of group "B", "Nikolaev", accepted "Poltava" and already in the middle of the first half remained in minority after Anatoly Masalov's removal. But this did not derail the hosts, and they forced the guests to capitulate before the break after the shot of Serhiy Kravchenko. However, in the second half Poltava managed not only to equalize the score, but also to celebrate a strong-willed victory in overtime - 2: 1.

Finally, after a seven-year break, ex-player of the national team of Ukraine Oleh Shelayev decided to return to big football, but this did not help his new team, Vovchansk, to avoid a crushing defeat by Peremohy - 0: 3.
