If the fans watching the rivalry in Group A are already used to the victorious march of the football players of the Left Bank, LNZ, and Dinaz, the acceleration of Vinnytsia's Niva is a surprise.

Podolians do not hide that they are not tasked to rise in the classroom, as now the main focus is on improving the club's infrastructure. Nevertheless, Volodymyr Tsytkin's wards won for the fourth time in a row, this time over AFSK - 4: 0, and established themselves in the leading group. A hat-trick in this confrontation was scored by the playing president of FC "Niva" Artur Zagorulko, who with seven goals he confidently leads the chase among the scorers.

And in group "B" continues to disappoint "Tavria", which after the appearance at the wheel of an experienced specialist Sergei Puchkov was going to try to win one of the passes to the first division. But after the second defeat in a row, this time from "Trostyanets" (0: 2), "Tavria" is getting closer to outsiders.

Zaporizhzhya Metalurh is expected to take the lead in this group, although victories are given to Volodymyr Mykytyn's wards with a squeak. Here in the match of the 8th round with "Victoria" the guests took the lead in the debut after a successful shot by Igor Zagalsky, but failed to develop success and were eventually forced to accept victory with a minimum score. 1: 0.
