And now – our individual nominations:
FC Khust made it to the First League through the playoffs, in the first season among professionals. But already after the start of the debut season at this level, the club lost four leading players at once, being unable to recruit ready-made and status masters. But Podillya, on the contrary, invited a number of experienced performers and, literally on the eve of the departure to Transcarpathia, announced the goalkeeper of the national team of Kazakhstan from the UPL – Nepogodov. Nevertheless, FC Khust managed to stun the opponents with their goals at the start, then played well on the counterattacks, tying the leading players of Khmelnytsky in the fight. Even the beautiful goal of Boldenkov at the end did not shake the first historic victory of FC Khust in the First Division.
Analysis from the All-Ukrainian Association of Football Coaches – here.
Nice tour for jokers! Rezepov scores the actually winning goal of Ingulets, Bykovsky saves Mariupol from defeat with a chic free-kick, Kirichenko delivers a “control shot” for Dinaz. However, even after this important list, the replacement of the Carpathians is in the first place. Both goals are from Markevych’s jokers. And the first – a turning point – the Brazilian debutant Christian scored in the first minute after entering the field!
- Sport Arena stats: 5 league matches, 3 goals.
Although the “Tigers” did not maintain their advantage over Flint and eventually suffered a limp defeat, we cannot deny the bright solo performance of their midfielder Serdyuk. Playing as a left winger, the 21-year-old outmaneuvered opponents and scored two goals against them. Under normal circumstances, this is enough to win, and then to the title of the hero of the tour. Nevertheless, Maxim and the team did not work out somewhere, relaxed, lost concentration. This will be a lesson to them.
- Sport Arena stats: 5 league matches, 3 goals, 1 assist.
Yes, what is going on! The reporting tour certainly fulfilled the monthly standard of beautiful goals! In the shortlist of the most spectacular for the entire season, we write down Boldenkov’s goal from Khmelnytsky in the style of the Panini logo, crazy free-kick from Kiev Bykovskychic long-range shot by a rookie from Lviv Ravlyk. With a heavy heart, realizing that all these goals are gorgeous and deserved, we pay tribute to the long-range shot from the field. Quoting the report: “Chachua gave a cross pass to the rookie Ravlyk who turned around, who from a distance shot very beautifully right on target – 2:0. This is the third goal in the championship for the winger, who started the season in Agribusiness, and before that spent many seasons in the Lviv region championship.”
The goal can be seen on the video from 1:07
Read later on our website an interview with the player who provided two assists in the victory over Gornyak-Sport.
- Sport Arena stats: 4 league matches, 2 assists.
