After their victory in the previous round against «Zvyagel», football players from the club «YUKSA» could have pulled ahead with a win over another contender for promotion, «Druzhba».
But the team from Myrivka had a different perspective. On the 33rd minute, Oleg Vakulenko scored a decisive shot that forced the home goalkeeper to yield. The visitors confidently defended against all attempts by FC «YUKSA» to avoid defeat. And although «Druzhba» is currently third in the table, it is they who are the hidden leader when considering lost points.
As expected, «Zvyagel» won big in Odessa, catching up to the team from Tarasivka and also having a game in reserve.
It is precisely in the rivalry between these three clubs that who will secure the direct promotion ticket to the first league will be decided.
