- interview with the hero of the tour, whom Sport Arena determines together with the PFL
And now – our individual nominations:
With modest capabilities, limited personnel resources and without several important players, FSK Mariupol defeated the leader. Ingulets has not yet lost points at home in the current championship, but could not do anything with the tactically trained, controlled and organized visiting team. Krasnoperov quickly responded to the events of the match and moved the team from 4-2-3-1 to 5-4-1, withstanding the opponent’s penalty, an early goal and significant pressure from the championship favorite.
- Analysis from the All-Ukrainian Association of Football Coaches – Here.
This is a rich tour of the bright exits of jokers. Daniil Falkovsky (Metallurg) deprived the Cossacks of their nerves in Chernigov with the third goal of the visitors, Radion Posevkin (Girnyak-Sport) saved a draw for his team in the home match with Victoria, Artem Semka (Prykarpattya) provided an assist to Shinkarenko for the winner. However, the most important was the appearance of the Volochich winger Svistun. Just four minutes after coming on as a substitute, Christian was quickest to find his bearings on a rebound from the penalty area and scored the winning goal in the Khmelnitsky derby.
- Sport Arena statistics: 14 league matches, 1 goal.
In the regional derby with Kremlin, he scored a goal and an assist, which ensured an important victory for the Poltava team.
- Sport Arena statistics: 8 league matches, 3 goals, 1 assist.
Lviv’s Chachua’s free kick is like a memory of the legendary goal by Shevchenko-Filimonov. A solo raid by the Carpathian Khoma, which is already becoming his trademark. Several well-played combinations. Against the backdrop of what was created in this not the most spectacular round, the goal in Gorishni Plavni stands out. We quote the report: “The start of the second half brought success to the hosts. Zhukov passed the ball from the right edge to Sheptytsky, who passed it to Chertkoev – Shelikhov did not react to the powerful shot that bounced off the lawn.”
The goal can be seen on video at 5:09
Read later on our website an interview with the player who, with two goals, brought the Chernivtsi team a super-willed draw with Buzovskaya Niva.
- Sport Arena statistics: 14 league matches, 6 goals, 1 assist.
