The trust was entrusted to Stepan Matviyev, who in recent years has been an assistant to Roman Grigorchuk in the teams he led. And it is necessary that already in the first match under Stepan Matviyev's command, "Rock 1911" faced off with "Revero 1908," where his son — Yaroslav — serves as the coach.

Stryians did not break out of their rut even with an unconverted penalty before halftime. The most active among the hosts was Hrytsak, who scored a brace. Ivan Zhumiga could have sealed the deal with a rout in the closing moments but missed from a good position. With a scoreline of 2:0, "Rock 1911" managed to close the gap on the group A leaders.

The central match in this group was between "Polesia-2" and "Breakthrough." The Polesians even bolstered their ranks with several players from the main team. The contest unfolded with alternating success. The deadlock was broken by a precise shot from Dmytro Shastal. "Polesia-2" won 1:0 and, thanks to additional indicators, now tops the league table. Also on 13 points are "Kulikovo," "Breakthrough," and "Ruh 2."

In group B, the most interest was generated by the match in Oleksandria, where the second club team hosted "Colos-2." The visitors dominated their hosts in goal-scoring opportunities and deservedly took the lead — 2:0 to continue leading.

Today, "Chernihiv" handed a defeat to "Vorskla-2" away from home — 1:0 and is now closing in on the colossians.

"Girn-Sport" after four consecutive wins is already third.
