Today, August 8, the second round of the Ukrainian Premier League 2025/2026 began. Two matches were played. In Kropyvnytskyi, where "Poltava" plays its home games, a newcomer to the elite division secured its historic first win. Oleh Veremiienko's precise shot decided the fate of the match against "Veres."

In the second game of the day, "Dynamo" in Lviv did not give local "Ruh" a chance, scoring five goals and conceding one. Among the Dynamo players were those called up by Serhiy Rebrov for June's national team matches in Canada: Mykola Mikhaylenko (who played the full match) and Vladyslav Kabaiev (substituted at 68 minutes), while Mykola Shaparenko entered the game at 68 minutes.
