Yuri Maximov's wards have already played four matches and scored fewer than four goals in each. In the latest round, they even managed to dismantle "Kremenchuk-2" (7:0) without their top scorer — Artur Vashchishin. In "Zviazhe," there are players who can score even without him — Maxim Maytik scored a hat-trick in KremENCHUK.
FC "YUKSA" is also maintaining their level, forcing the goalkeeper of "Real Pharma" to concede four goals (4:0). The visitors couldn't even manage to score an honor goal. Mikola Tsimbala's wards continue to lead the league table, although "Zviazhe" has only one point less (and has a game in hand).
The most intense rivalry took place in Vinnytsia, where "Niva" hosted their league table neighbor — "Skala 1911." The visitors, playing with ten men from the 42nd minute onwards, only managed to save a draw at the end of the match thanks to a goal by team captain Arthur Yanaga — 2:2.
