There was a crazy intrigue on the eve of the match. After all, 3 teams claimed 2 places in the championship group – FSC Mariupol, Metalurg Z and Poltava.
After Petro Kharzhevskyi’s debut goal of the season (Mochevynskyi dragged the ball through the center and accurately rolled it back to his partner), Azov’s chances of reaching the coveted top 5 increased. Bulgakov could have added even more. But his fierce long-range shot hit the crossbar. At the same time, Metalurh conceded to Dinaz, and Poltava scored twice against Chernihiv. Moreover, Victoria, which was ahead of Mariupol in the standings before this round, conceded three goals to Left Bank in the first half.
After learning this information, Oleg Krasnopyorov’s team calmly and effortlessly brought the match to a minimal victory, which put them in third place in the group. This result guaranteed the team a fight for promotion to the UPL in the spring. And it’s great!
