In the opening rounds of Ukraine's second-tier league, newcomers have performed well. It is worth noting that Kyiv's «Rebel» has played without losses in Group B, as has the favorite — «Kolos-2» and «Trostyanets». The capital team stands out for its good organization in defense.

And in Group A, «Lysne» is on top. Yesterday, the players of Oleksandr Ryabokon played against «Polesia-2». The hosts quickly opened the score after a shot by Congolese forward Jerry Yoka. But at the end of the first half, midfielder Sergei Rybalka equalized for «Lysne», and in the next attack, the guests went ahead.

Unrestrained Yoka immediately after halftime scored a brace, but on the 50th minute, «Lysne» found itself down by one man due to Edward Kobak's dismissal. The hosts stepped up their efforts and attacked fiercely, but the guests held firm — 2:2.

These teams are now closely positioned in the standings. They could have been overtaken today by FC «Kulikiv-Bilka», had they won against Vinnitsa's «Niva». This did not happen for them — 2:2. Currently, there is no single leader in both groups.
