Bogdan Orinchak is marking his return to native Subcarpathia with an effective performance. After scoring in Odessa, the versatile player "Proboi" has already recorded his 10th goal in the current season and confidently leads among the top scorers of Group A, while Gorodenkivtsi are one of the title contenders.

However, the main rival did not make a statement this time. "Rukh-2" took advantage of the fact that "Vilkhivtsi" were already down early and confidently secured the lead — 2:0. Lvivians could have made it a rout, but they failed to convert a penalty.

Today in Group A, the round concluded with two matches: "Kulikiv-Bilka" lost to "Skali 1911" — 1:2, and "Uzhhorod" drew with "Polesia-2" — 1:1.

In Group B, Kovalivskyi "Kolos-2," whose defense is mainly composed of former experienced players from the amateur "Sturm," inflicted a defeat on visiting "Hirnyk-Sport" — 1:0. The decisive goal was scored by Igor Khartyn, an ex-national team player who previously played for Polish "Legia."

The pursuer of Kovalivtsi, "Oleksandria-2," dismantled their direct rival, Kyiv's "Locomotive" — 3:0.

The second team of Vinnitsa's "Niva" president Arthur Zagorulok helped Podolyans to neutralize another outsider, "Vorskla-2," — 3:0. As a result, the striker of "Niva" now has five goals in his account, but he is still far from Orinchak.
