In the 22nd round of the second league championship, two confrontations were in the epicenter today.

In Zvyagel, the local football players, who were leading the tournament table, hosted the main competitor in the fight for a direct ticket to the first league - FC "YUKSA". The guests from Tarasivka, among whom three Brazilian legionnaires stood out, managed to neutralize the home team's attempts to attack with large forces thanks to their compactness and forward play. In the middle of the first half, FC "YUKSA" took the lead after a shot by Kyryl Khovaik. Before the break, Jan Morgovskyi could have leveled the situation, but did not convert the penalty. The final score was set by Andriy Demydenko, who once again upset Zvyagel goalkeeper Anton Yashkov. 0:2. Mykola Tsymbala's wards overtook Zvyagel, moving to first place.

"Druzhba" could take advantage of the misfire of "Zvyagel" and catch up with Polish pike, if it prevailed over "Chaika". But it was not destined. The captain of the guests, Bohdan Semenets, opened the scoring in the 17th minute, and Andriy Porokhnya saved the Myrivians from defeat - 1:1. However, in terms of points lost, "Druzhba" is the hidden leader, ahead of both FC "YUKSA" and "Zvyagel".
