The first league. Weighty applications of "Karpat" and "Ingulets", another failure of "Metalurg"
Rivalry in the first league goes to the finish line. In the fourth round of the championship group, the matches "Left Bank" - "Karpaty" and "Ingulets" - "Epicenter" were of great importance in determining the winners of direct tickets to the UPL. As often happens in confrontations where six points are at stake, their fate was decided by one well-hit shot.
In the Kyiv region, the favorite, "Karpaty", did not allow the hosts to create almost anything. Only the episode before the curtain of the match was remembered, when the Brazilian legionnaire Sydney scored with his head, but the green and white goalkeeper Andrii Kozhuhar was at the top. At that time, the Lviv residents were already in the lead: Yevhen Pidlepenets completed the multi-move combination with a powerful shot. Soon Yan Kostenko could stand out, but the crossbar became an ally of "Left Bank".
Unfortunately, due to injuries, the leading players of Kyiv, Andriy Yakymov and Vladyslav Voytsekhovsky, were forced to leave the field. After the final whistle, the head coach of "Left Bank" Vitaliy Pervak congratulated the guests with their victory (1:0), who noted that nothing will stop them from taking first place.
And in Petrov, two more clubs from the leading group were clarifying their relationship. In the 60th minute, "Epicenter" remained in the minority after Ahmed Alibekov was sent off for the second warning, and "Ingulets" took advantage of the majority already in six minutes, when Maksym Melnychuk scored the winning goal. 1:0.
It should be noted that in the next round, the epicenter of attention will again be the matches with the participation of this quartet - "Karpaty" - "Ingulets" and "Epicenter" - "Left Bank".
Bukovyna did not win again in the elimination group, although it continues to lead the standings. The recent leader, "Metalurg", which is in danger of being downgraded due to serious personnel losses, suffered another failure.
