In none of the calendar matches played did the footballers of Volochysk "Agrobusiness" have a game advantage, but this in no way prevented them from securing four consecutive wins and confidently leading the group A table. The secret to their success lies in their tenacity and ability to play for results. In the latest round, "Agrobusiness" took the lead in Ivano-Frankivsk by capitalizing on a mistake made by goalkeeper Kucheruk of "Prykarpattia," then focusing more on defense. The hosts had several opportunities to save themselves but failed. The visitors seized their chance — 1:0.

"Bukovyna" is gradually approaching the top group, which aims to rise in class. However, due to ineffective strikers, points are very hard for Chernivtsi's team to come by. In their home match against Ternopil "Niva," everything was decided by a single accurate shot from Goncharuk. Interestingly, he came on as a substitute for the injured Golub and quickly took advantage of an error made by the visitors' defender who failed to clear the ball properly. Towards the end of the game, Niva's players were in the majority, but Bukovyna held firm. 1:0.

In group B, there is a hidden leader who has yet to lose points and instead has two postponed matches in reserve. This refers to "Viktoriya," which had to play its latest home match against "Kudryvka" in Kyiv due to scheduling issues. Thanks to a more balanced lineup, Sumy's team confidently secured the victory — 2:0.

Meanwhile, leader "Poltava" unexpectedly lost valuable points in Zaporizhzhia — 0:0.

Aspiring "Metalist 1925" has yet to record a win. Even the appearance of renowned Dutch expert Patrick van Leeuwen near their bench hasn't brought dividends for Kharkiv's team so far. Today, they drew with FC "YUKSA" — 0:0 and find themselves among the strugglers.
