The victory of «Epitsentr» had long ceased to raise doubts. And the wards of Serhiy Nagornyak lived up to expectations, taking a mountain over FC YUKSA — 1:0, even playing without their full lineup. They have risen in class. Congratulations to the underdogs who rather quickly managed to climb from an amateur team to an elite squad.
As if by agreement, the pursuers of «Epitsentr», «Poltava» and «Kudryvka», with identical scores of 2:0, inflicted defeats on «Agrobusiness» and «Bukovyna» respectively and do not intend to give up the positions they have won.
The favorite, «Metalist 1925», surprisingly stumbled in Kharkiv derby barely saving a draw against «Metalist» — 2:2. The wards of Patrick van Leuven had to yield places in the standings to «Kudryvka», thus making the battle for spots that give the right to play transitional matches with UPL outsiders more intense.
