Finally, the football players of "Metalist 1925" have woken up. In a match in the fourth round of the championship group against "Agrobusiness," they demonstrated the kind of play that was expected from them since the start of the season.

Thanks to decisive actions by foreign players Ari Moury and Ermir Rashici, Slobozhans outscored representatives of Volochysk, who sharply slowed down — 4:0. "Metalist 1925" has increased its chances of securing the second direct ticket to the UPL.

And the first one will soon be secured by "Epicenter," which once again earned three points, taking the lead over "Kudryvka" — 1:0. The decisive blow was delivered by Danylo Kravchuk.

It is worth noting the intensification of competition for a place in the top quartet. "Poltava" defeated "Metalist" (1:0) after Igor Kotsyumak's accurate shot, while "Bukovyna," scoring twice even before halftime, settled the question of victory against FC YUKSA (3:0). It seems that the unexpected resignation of head coach Dmitry Chyrickal a few days ago did not benefit the team from Tarasivka.
