Today, on August 2, two more matches of the 2025/2026 Ukrainian Championship took place. The current champion of Ukraine — Kyiv's "Dynamo" — began its title defense with a match in Rivne.

The away team included players who regularly receive calls to the national team of Ukraine from Serhiy Rebrov. Oleksandr Timchik, Mykhailo Mikhaylenko, Oleksandr Pylyhonok, and Vladyslav Vanat played for 90 minutes each. Vladyslav Kabaev was substituted in the 46th minute, while Mykhailo Shaparenko and Andriy Yarmolenko were substituted in the 76th minute. The white-and-blue team secured a victory with a quick goal: Shaparenko scored after receiving a pass from Vanat.

And in the match between "Zorya" and LNZ, there was the first draw of the season.
