The situation in the championship group is becoming increasingly complicated with each game day. The program of the next round began with away victories for FC YUKSA and "Kudryvky" over "Metalist" and "Agrobiznes," respectively, both with a score of 2-0, which allowed them to intensify their fight for promotion.

Although the leader's position seems secure for "Epitsentr," especially after an easy victory over "Metalist 1925" — 2:1. In the first half, the opponents exchanged goals, but after halftime, the home team leaned the scales in their favor with support from the fans.

A strategically important match took place in Chernivtsi, where the hosts had to win against "Poltava" to solidify their position. However, even a quick goal did not help "Bukovyna," as "city dwellers" should have restored parity before halftime but failed to convert a penalty and missed two more good opportunities. Eventually, in the second half's early minutes, the visitors equalized. The final draw (1:1) pleased their competitors in the race for top spots.

In the relegation group, "Mynay" lost to "Victoria" (0-1), immediately complicating their tournament situation, especially since neighbors in the table, "Prikarpatya" and "Fenix-Maripol," secured important wins.
