Game program of the 10th round (video report here)

Already traditional:

• Read soon on our website the symbolic team of the next round
• interview with the hero of the tour, which Sport Arena determines together with the PFL

And now – our individual nominations:

In the history of confrontations between the two clubs, FC Kudrovka had previously invariably lost to YuKSA – both in the Second League and after merging with Niva (Buzovaya) and being promoted in class and cup. However, this time, when the crusaders celebrated the birthday of the club academy and could have caught up with SK Poltava on points and led the group in additional indicators, FC Kudrovka gave them a good trip up. In one of the most productive matches of the season (next to the canceled Epicenter – FC Khust – 5:2, where seven goals were also recorded), the guests from Kudrovsk showed strong-willed qualities, showed home preparation and successful use of set pieces, and Baranov also made good substitutions. The victory over YUKSA brought Kudrovka to third place.

• Analysis from the All-Ukrainian Association of Football Coaches – Here.

The 22-year-old striker, who went through the school of Zarya and the Carpathians, generally does not play that much – in nine matches in the championship he played only 310 minutes. However, for the second time this season Legostaev scores outstanding goals. First, he equalized the score in the debut match of the Kudrovka Arena in the First League against Metalist 1925, and now again after coming on as a substitute! – scored the fourth goal against YUKSA. Victorious! An extremely important goal, allowing Kudrovka to move into third place and become the closest pursuer of the “crusaders”.

• SportArena statistics: 9 league matches, 2 goals.

In the Epicenter – Niva match, the team’s coaching staffs were racking their brains about how to replace the numerous absentees. It is logical that under such circumstances the youth came to the fore. Young striker Sidun opened the scoring for the Ternopil team and everything was heading towards the loudest sensation of the tour, but Bendery’s appearance helped the Kamenites save this difficult home match and continue their unbeaten streak at the Tonkocheev Stadium. It was Ivan who scored the return goal after S. Kristina’s pass, getting a strong-willed draw for the hosts, and generally reviving his team’s game

• SportArena statistics: 9 league matches, 1 goal, 2 assists.

There are goals that fans like. There are goals that are valued by professionals – those who tried to accomplish something similar with their feet. It’s not very often that you come across goals that suit the taste of both. This one is from the elite list. We quote the report: “In the 18th minute the score still became 0:2. Storchous passed to Korkishko on the flank, and Dmitry shot into the far top corner from an acute angle – 0:2. Fantastic performance and incredible goal!”

The goal can be seen in the video from 1:17

Read later on our website an interview with the player who scored a double in the victorious match with YUKSA.

• SportArena statistics: 8 league matches, 3 goals.

Unfortunately, Metalist has serious losses. The young team, which, we remind you, cannot strengthen due to the transfer ban, played enough of its young players, but suffered losses in the match with Agribusiness. First there was information that Teplyakov suffered a dislocation (he was replaced by Chidomere during the break), and then an even more annoying message came about Kaidalov’s serious injury.

The head coach of the yellow-blues, Andrei Anishchenko, told the club press service about this: “Unfortunately, Daniil Kaidalov received an unpleasant injury. We won’t be able to count on him until the end of this part of the championship.”

18-year-old striker Kaidalov is one of the most rapidly progressing players from Kharkiv. In eight championship matches he scored one goal and gave one assist.

Alexander Ryabokon’s 400th (!) match at the helm of various First League clubs. Ryabokon: 9th – in Dinaz, 96 – Borystheni, 52 – Dnieper Ch, 193 – Desna, 34 – Lvov and 16 – Sevastopol. Balance of all games: +169=102-129 balls 522-373.

Repeating the season record for the number of goals: in the YUKSA-Kudrovka match there were seven of them, one of them was scored by the “crusader” Sinegub (in the net)

A few more interesting things:

• Alexander Ryabokon became only the 4th coach to conquer this guard line in the First League. Anatoly Volobuev (571), Vladimir Onishchenko (448) and Yuriy Koval (436) played more games.
• Agribusiness’s winning streak in the First League is 8 games, which is a repeat of the club record. Over the past 10 years, Veres (2020/21 season) had longer winning streaks – 11 games, Alexandria (2014/15) and Polesie (2022/23) – 10 each.
• The club’s record winning home streak of Epicenter, which lasted 4 games in the First League, has ended.
• The 50th match in the First League was played by Sergei Mashtalir (Victoria).
• The 30th goal in the First League is scored by Dmitry Korkishko (Kudrovka, 1st goal in the game), the 1st by Vadim Sidun (Niva, in the 12th game).
• In his 3rd First League club, Oleg Sinegub (YUKSA) opened the scoring, having previously scored against rivals Cherkasy Dnepr and Ingulets.
• The 3rd double in the First League is scored by Dmitry Korkishko (Kudrovka), who previously scored 2 goals per game on October 31, 2012 as part of Dynamo-2.
