First League. Metalist did not win for the first time, and Kryvbas slowed down again on the road

In the 9th round there was an extraordinary event - for the first time this season, "Metalist" did not celebrate the victory. It prevented him from doing so in Polissya, which is becoming more coordinated with each match.

Yuri Kalitvintsev's wards gave the favorite a fight due to the clear execution of the coaching setup. In the 10th minute, an experienced stopper of the guests Andriy Hitchenko joined the offensive and opened the score. The hosts managed to seize the initiative only in the second half after the removal of Zhytomyr Vladislav Opri, and in the 79th minute Yegor Demchenko saved his team from defeat. 1: 1. Polissya footballers have proved that with the right tactics and proper dedication, you can fight on equal terms with Metalist.

The nearest pursuer, Kryvbas, could have taken advantage of Slobozhan's misfire, but Hennadiy Prykhodko's wards lost points on the road again, although they opened the scoring in Ivano-Frankivsk after Artem Shchedry's strike. But the hosts did not derail, they often changed the direction of attacks and still caught the guests on a mistake in the insurance. The leader of the Prykarpattia attack, Roman Barchuk, leveled the situation. 1: 1. After the break, Ivano-Frankivsk attacked more sharply, but the score did not change.

The victory in the 7th round over Kryvbas added confidence to the Alliance players, and they have already won three victories in a row, the last of which was over Girnyk-Sport. This time Yuri Yaroshenko's charges managed to score a quick goal, then they played on the score, controlling the course of events on the field, and in the second half added speed and brought the case to defeat. 4: 0.

And today the program of the 9th round ended with a match in Uzhhorod, where the "citizens" failed to compete with "Niva", losing - 0: 2. It seems that it will be very difficult for Transcarpathians to make up for lost time.
