In Group A in Volodymyrivsk, the sensation was "Agrobusiness" hosting "Bukovyna." Although the Podolian team is confidently leading, Chernivtsi football players have stated before the start of the matches that they are aiming for an upgrade in class. However, their play has been disappointing, especially when it comes to finishing attacks.

And yesterday, the guests practically did not create goal-scoring moments near the hosts' goalposts; moreover, the experienced Roman Podkivka reliably defended his post. On the other hand, the leading scorer of "Agrobusiness," Maxim Voytikhovskyy, although he didn't score himself, made a pass to Roman Tolochko, who at the end of the first half directed the ball into the goalposts of Chernivtsi — 1:0. This is the ninth consecutive victory for the team coached by Oleksandr Chizhevskyi, who have already distanced themselves from pursuers. Meanwhile, "Bukovyna" has fewer and fewer chances with each match to secure a direct promotion to the UPL.

In Group B, attention was focused on the match in Poltava, where the "city dwellers" faced FC "YUKSA." The teams met with the most reliable defense and the most goal-scoring attack. Today's winner could not be determined — 1:1. The hosts saved themselves from defeat at the end of the match.

Note the Kharkiv acceleration: confident victories were secured by "Metalist" and "Metalist 1925," which allowed them to solidify their position in the lead group. But they are still far from the leaders.
