Meanwhile, the main competitor of the Poles, "Obolon", won over "Dinaz" in another sparring match - 1:0. The ranks of the "brewers" were replenished by middle line players Serhiy Sukhanov and Vladyslav Mukhamatgaleev. Next up in Kyiv are control matches with "Chernihiv", "Mariupol" and "Niva" from Buziv.

"LNZ" does not hide its ambitious plans. With the same score, 1:0, Oleksandr Kovpak's wards won against Dinaz and Mariupol. A sparring match with Zaporizhzhia "Metalurg" is scheduled for March 18.

By the way, there have been changes in the coaching staff at Mariupol. From now on, goalkeeper Igor Shukhovtsev, famous in the past, will be responsible for training goalkeepers.

The players of "Epicenter" have already played six control matches after resuming the training process: they won three, drew twice and lost once. In March, Serhiy Nagornyak's wards will play against "Kolos", "Dinaz" and "Chernigov" from Kovaliv.

"Kremin" signed the first two winter newcomers. We are talking about the 20-year-old goalkeeper Oleksiy Slutsky and the one-year-older striker Myroslav Trofimyuk - graduates of the academies of Kyiv "Dynamo" and "Dnipro-1", respectively.

"Bukovyna" managed to become the winner of a charity tournament in Chernivtsi, where its rivals were amateur teams from neighboring regions, and also parted ways with "Prykarpattia" - 1:1. Until the end of the season, the well-known scorer Mykhailo Serhiychuk from "Veres" will play for her, goalkeeper Mark Medvedev has returned to the team, and another newcomer is Oleksandr Glagola, a pupil of Transcarpathian football.

And finally, about "Karpaty", which after a week's stay in Lviv returned to Transcarpathia, where they are conducting another stage of training. In their selection work, the green and whites focused on loan players. The latest acquisition is a station wagon Serhii Gorbunov from Dnipro-1. Andrii Tlumak's wards started the March training session in Uzhhorod with a sparring session with the amateur team of Transcarpathia, scoring 12 "dry" goals.
