At the beginning of the game, Stetsenko opened the score after a rebound, and then Prokopchuk doubled the lead — 2:0. Lyubart narrowed the gap thanks to a 10-meter shot from Hladun, but Syrotenko's sending off became a turning point. Avalon converted the majority — Hural brought the score to 3:1.

The match between Kardinal-Avangard and Sokil turned out to be extremely tense and spectacular. Both teams showed a high level of play, struggle and tactics.

The hosts opened the score first — Kravchuk finished a cross from the flank. But 43 seconds before the break, the Khmelnytskyi team equalized — Danyliuk converted a combination after a set piece, 1:1.

At the start of the second half, Skybchyk from a sharp angle again put the Rivne team ahead, but "Sokil" did not give up. After a ricochet from Khamdanov, the ball was again in the net — 2:2.

Announcement of Round 5 of betking Extra-League 

Athletic Futsal – Avalon (Brovary)

Athletic Futsal hosts Avalon (Brovary). In the last round, Athletic drew 1:1 with Kyiv Futsal, and Avalon won confidently against Lyubart (Lutsk) (4:1). Although Athletic is considered the favorite, the persistence of the Brovary team can make the match unpredictable. The difference in the standings is only 2 points.

Lyubart (Lutsk) – Sukha Balka (Zhovti Vody)

Sukha Balka demonstrates stable play and is the favorite of the match, but Lyubart is ready to fight at home. Both teams have 3 points each, so the intrigue remains.

Uragan (Ivano-Frankivsk) – Kardinal-Avangard (Rivne)

Kardinal-Avangard leads the championship and looks like the favorite, but Uragan is capable of putting up a fight on its home court. We expect a tense and spectacular match.

Furnitura (Kolomyia) – Kyiv Futsal

Kyiv Futsal is the favorite, but playing away and the support of local fans can complicate the task for the guests. Furnitura must play as carefully as possible to take advantage of their chances.

Tyre Expert (Odesa) – HIT Kyiv

The league leader HIT Kyiv meets an outsider. The Odesa team can put up a fight, but the Champions League team is in incredible shape and is unlikely to allow themselves to relax.

Let us remind you that the betking Extra-League takes place in two stages – the regular part, lasting 22 rounds, and the playoff stage – a series of up to 3 wins to advance.
