After the third round of Group B in the first league, surprisingly, "Poltava" took the lead instead of the favorite, "Metalist 1925". The team coached by Volodymyr Syshenko secured their second consecutive victory, this time defeating "Dinaz" with a score of 3:0. The team from Vishhorod, led by renowned expert Oleksandr Ryabokon, continues to struggle.

By the way, the "city dwellers" could have scored more goals but were let down by their finishing. However, after losing their leaders Maxim Gorzya and Dmitry Kopitov, who decided to continue their careers in Poland, they found worthy replacements, and the team's collective efforts are impressive. Volodymyr Syshenko does not hide that he is preparing his players for securing a spot in the final stage of the first league championship.

Meanwhile, teams from Podillya are dominating Group A. Today, "Agrobusiness" secured their third consecutive win by defeating "Mynay" with a score of 2:1. Neighbors from Kamianets-Podilsky also performed without losses, scoring five goals against "Hust", conceding only two.

Finally, "Bukovyna" celebrated victory over another representative of the Khmelnytsky region — "Podillya". Chernivtsi players were faster and created more goal-scoring opportunities but managed to score only one goal — 1:0. It was scored by central defender Yurii Dudnik. Due to weak play from their forwards, "Bukovyna" does not seem unbeatable despite aiming for a class upgrade.

Meanwhile, in Ternopil, the local "Niva" continues to drop valuable points. In the match against "Metalist," the hosts managed to draw 1:1 after conceding in stoppage time.
