Obolon continues to be feverish
In the first match of round 9, Chornomorets Odesa hosted Obolon Kyiv, which finally won its first victory in the UPL last round. The beginning of the match turned out to be quite interesting, which was only worth the moment in the 23rd second of Obolon's goal, when Udod almost “mowed” the ball into his own net. The defender was saved by Rudko. In the 33rd minute, Obolon organized a beautiful combination, which Taranukha finished with one touch, but the sailors were saved by the post.
After the break, Chernomorets recovered a little and began to respond to Obolon with their moments, but the ball frankly did not go into the goal. The match went to a draw, until the Newcomer of Odessa Ilya Shevtsov, who came on as a substitute in the 85th, said his word, and two minutes later scored his debut goal for Chernomorets.
Dmitry Hoblenko broke through the flank, shot into the penalty area, where an undisguised Shevtsov sent the ball into the Brewers ' goal, setting the final score on the scoreboard - 1:0.
“Obolon continues to be in the penultimate place, while Mariners moved up from 11th to 8th place.
dry zeros in Lviv

By the equator of the first half, Ingulets had a bunch of chances of their own that they failed to realize. By the 30th minute, the game was somewhat leveled and Karpaty even managed to score, but Ocheretko's goal was canceled due to offside by Neves.
A minute later, Neves could have scored, but Palamarchuk pulled the ball from under the post. "Ingulets" responded a few minutes later, when Malysh shot exactly into the post from a few meters away.
The second half started immediately with attacks from both teams. At first, Malysh shot in the fall, but the goalkeeper of the "Carpathians" helped out, and a few minutes later Chachua almost opened the scoring in the match, hitting the post, and two minutes later he scored, but the referee again canceled the goal due to offside.
On the 80th, the total bad luck of the Carpathians lasted, if Levi scored a penalty, ale Neves did not beat Palamarchuk. The match ended with "dry zeros" on the scoreboard.
Veres' strong-willed victory at home
In the first match on Saturday, Veres Rivne hosted Zorya Luhansk. The start of the match came as a shock to Veres. First, Mrvaljevic missed a chance when he did not take advantage of Luan's pass to the center of the penalty area, and Luhansk immediately responded with a goal - Antyukh broke through the flank and fired, and Horbach closed the near post - 1: 0 in the 9th minute.
