The scoring was opened by the guests in the 19th minute of the match. Maxim Tretyakov took the corner, and Vladislav Veleten took advantage of the confusion in the penalty area, shooting accurately from 10 meters.
Polesie restored the status quo in the opening of the second half – Alexander Nazarenko broke through the left flank and crossed into the penalty area, where Alexey Gutsulyak scored his 6th goal in this UPL draw without much difficulty.
