In August, the grassroots team "Proboi" from Horodenka in Ivano-Frankivsk celebrates its 100th anniversary. It is heartening to see that the current generation of players continues to write history by successfully debuting in the second league and securing a place in the round of 16 of the Vbet Cup of Ukraine.

Today, Vladimir Kovalko's wards achieved this right, defeating "Ingulets," which has returned to the Premier League. The match was played on equal footing, but Horodenka maintained a lead throughout. The guests managed to avoid defeat only in the final moments of regular time — 2:2. Then came additional time without goals and a penalty shootout, which Horodenka won — 4:2.

However, two amateur teams that have caused trouble in the current cup tournament, "Olympia" and "Mykolaiv," were forced to withdraw today. While the Savinets players had no chance against "Zorya" — 1:4, the city dwellers almost created another sensation against first-division "Bukovyna." By the way, in the previous Cup of Ukraine tournament, Mykolaiv beat Chernivtsi's club 1:0 in August 2023. They were leading until they went down to a numerical disadvantage today as well. Only then did Bukovyna equalize and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat on the last stoppage-time minute — 2:1.

"Victoria" easily defeated "Minau" away — 2:0, while "Karpaty" at home dismantled "Chornomorets," who fielded a weakened side — 3:0.

In another match featuring representatives of the elite, "Kolos" and "Obolon" failed to score in regular time or extra time. The shootout was decisive, with the beer brewers emerging victorious — 5:4.
