The spring part of the season in the third-ranked division began with the 20th round.

Among the representatives of the leading group, the first to finish its match was "Zvyagel", which met with an outsider, "Kremen-2". There was no doubt about the game advantage of the Polish pike, but it was difficult for them to score goals. Nevertheless, thanks to the legionnaires, the Brazilian Wandell and the Norwegian George Lewis, who has the experience of playing for the English "Arsenal" U-23, the hosts celebrated a victory - 2:0.

But the pursuer of the "townsmen", FC "YUKSA", unexpectedly slowed down in Odesa, where they met with another outsider, the "Real Pharma" team. The visiting Brazilian legionnaire Gabriel Goulart led his team ahead, but in the middle of the second half, Maksym Marchenko from Odessa established the final score — 1:1.

By the way, the playing president of Odesa FC Mykola Lyhovidov, having appeared in the starting line-up today, broke the historical record set by him as the oldest football player of the Ukrainian masters teams - 58 years 1 month 28 days.

The failure of Mykola Tsymbal's wards made the footballers of not only "Zvyagel" who strengthened their leading position, but also "Druzhba" who, after the victory over "Lokomotiv" - 3:1, in terms of lost points, are already significantly ahead of the team from Tarasivka.

In another match, Rukha-2 football players significantly outnumbered Trostyanets in terms of created moments, but this did not help them celebrate the victory - 0:0.
