The tour after the classic or the first round of the four final at the finish of the Ukrainian Premier League season-can be called anything, but the meaning does not change. It seems that emotions should already be off, but the weekend eventually passed quite quietly and without loud sensations. Although certain trends were still seeing them. We will consider it a warm -up before the coming confrontation.

14:00 LNZ 1: 1 Star 15:30 Ear 0: 0 Vorskla 18:00 Polesie 1: 2 Alexandria Grands did not spare outsiders, but Dynamo Kiev was still surgically separated by Shakhtar from the championship title Of course, the latter was purely formality even after Marino Pushich’s team lost important points in games against Kryvbas (1: 1) and the Carpathians (0: 0), but if we talk about some “eternal” confrontation between these teams, let us celebrate every moment. Even against the backdrop of all clear trends.

Donetsk Shakhtar played on Saturday, trying to simultaneously support the spirit of a friendly Derby-1936 in Odessa against the local Chernomorets, and to get another three points for himself, without losing too much strength. The Pitmen even allowed themselves to carry out a significant rotation, and the opponents to use the players rented. But none of this team of Alexander Kucher came in handy.

The “sailors” lasted a little more than a half without missed balls and with one good moment at other people’s gates. Shakhtar in the experimental warehouse was difficult, but not critical – the booth “helped” with a ricochet during a penalty from Bondarenko, after which Rakitsky was removed from the game for the sake Already a good recommendation.

And immediately after this match, we switched to the events in Alexandria, where Dynamo Kiev, we can say, Petrovsky Ingulets was examined under approximately the same conditions. Even the script was similar. The outsider closed, tried to keep the defense, but eventually missed. And immediately got the second. And he missed again, and also received another ball from above.

As a result, they did not get points in the foundations of the tables, but the team of Alexander Shovkovsky calmly completed her mathematical experiments on the cutting of the miner from even theoretical opportunity to claim something on the top of the table. Although formally it became much earlier, which we all know.

The central match of the tour that confirmed the futility of Polesie’s hopes If Alexandria had lost their points, then her chances of the championship would start to speak exactly in the same way as the miner a few months ago – a bomb with a postponed but irreversible timer. But Ruslan Rotan’s team escaped this. And she did it in the match, where both teams set the maximum tasks and tried not to risk the last.

But the removal of another Georgian right defender in this round of UPL was nailed by Polesie. The Ashura image team missed the first hand-gel from Kalyuzhny, who had been broken up with his eyebrows before, trying to somehow reduce the passion in the fight-it did not help, became the opposite of the most launched and lethal for “wolves”. But the owners were able to play for a break in a beautiful style, thus retaining some intrigue. And all for the sake of their player’s inadvertent action, they were nailed.

But yes, something is symbolic for this season by the Ashur team. She constantly interferes with something inside, not from the outside. No one interfered with the distance from the Carpathians and Kryvbas, but there were three consecutive losses, including defeat. And this is despite the fact that it will be a home-made Dynamo, a star in the capital and a supermegacro (we are so promised, in any case) a match against Kryvbas in Zhytomyr in the last round. The calendar will not invent the calendar, but only “wolves” to blame that such a graphic is not eligible for the loss of points. And not the “lions” will suddenly enter the territory of Polesie – the wild jungle UPL in their most striking manifestation.

Obolon at the end of the season is something, so aggressively no one saved away from departure Sergey Shishchenko continues to create miracles. Kiev Obolon has very modest resources, even compared to its competitors in the standings, but has a desire – this is a decisive emphasis at the end of the season. To beat Chernomorets and Ingulets in the departure zone? Please, pragmatics, Poker Face, 1-0 – here are you and the applicants formed for direct departure. Dynamo in the derby? Well, the favorite, as calmly miss and go. The Carpathians are fighting for the Euro Cup zone, Heather somewhere there earlier displayed inflammatory football? Well, we score points.

This is how it works in brewers. And most importantly – without unnecessary noise. Well, almost without noise, because in the match in Rivne lift the noise, because two removal and controversial decisions of the chief referee Dmitry Kubryak from Odessa, as not as, made themselves known. Heather did not like the removal of the hyhorgi kucius, and then the lack of removal for Vladislav Priymak at the beginning of the second half was not liked.

And many more did not like it, but even on its field, the team of Oleg Shandruk did not play more aggressively for some reason. But the guests were hammered twice – they probably were surprised in a situation where, as we remember, the main thing is to store Poker Face, as their coach usually does. And it works.

The Carpathians invent themselves problems, solve them themselves, and then smile from the results of competitors “Lions” opened this tour of the match on the administrative border of Kiev against the left bank, and this was also the case where both one and others need to solve their own tasks in the standings, but in its opposite areas. The debutant of the elite do not want to fly immediately in the first season – we have already understood it. But it will be difficult to contrast something if you do not use such gifts of rivals, even if the latter prevail in the possibilities.

The Carpathian Publo Alvarez’s support midfielder received his next red card in the current season, but his team received three points again. It is interesting that in the game against the LNZ in the nineteenth round for two yellow Spaniards was enough for 29 minutes on the field, and here in general coped for 19 – a dynamics that impresses and scares at the same time. Especially Vladislav Lupashka, who should see at the same time in this player and key performer of his team, and a powder tub on the legs, if continued to continue Oh.

But this time the Carpathians did not feel this game in the minority again. They scored the first, and although the opponents answered immediately, but in the second half, the “lions” gave a duplicate and actually closed the game. Yes, they missed finally, they added a little intrigue, but it was only by the protocol – the atmosphere prevailed on the field that three points from the Lviv residents did not go anywhere. As it turned out later, it can be decisive scores, because the “lions” of Alexandria at home, the spike on the departure and the star in Lviv – as if a difficult calendar, but competitors are probably still more difficult.

At once three matches that were not liked by their dramaturgy at all It is about the meetings of movement and Kryvbas in Lviv (0: 0), LNZ and Dawn in Cherkasy (1: 1) and Kolos and Vorskla in Kovalivka (0: 0). The general diagnosis is low intensity, although the rods from Yaroslav Karabin in Lviv are gladly argued with this statement. But yes, the expectations from the teams were higher, especially since each of these couples had at least one team, which was, for what to fight for.

Kryvbas, for example, knew that he still had a trump card in the form of a transferred match against the left shore in the middle of next week, so the silence could be collected six fast points, and to have a position even higher than Polesie in the standings before the next football. Sounds very attractive, agree, but no, the team of Yuri Vernidub against the movement was not close to the very necessary success.

Here in the LNZ and Dawn couple, you can somehow argue about the critical need of the teams to tear out victory at any cost. But it is still not a reason to play so relaxed that the first half of the match at all wanted to cross out of life, and in the second, though we looked at the goals, but they became the consequences of mistakes on both sides, not any stunning coaching decisions, for example. And for “lilac” these news is actually such – they are the closest rival to which Vorskla can reach.

And the claws of Yuri Maximov’s teams meanwhile, give everyone. Two transfer bands, again incomprehensible personnel trends that there are fewer and fewer football players on the bench before each subsequent game, but “green and white” is still in the game. They tried last weekend to stifle the ear on his field – as if it had succeeded, but in fact the victim justified herself only partially.

We saw two hours of very fresh football that could flash in a moment if the goal of Kane still enrolled. But as a result, another reason for controversy came out, because with those “offside lines”, which we were shown on the repetition, and at what distance and at what angle, it is better to simply wave your hand.

However, Vorskla’s credit score was obtained-and this is extremely important to her, because the Chernomorets, the LNZ, and Ingulets, will be further. Just in the second case, the team of Roman Grigorchuk and can eventually become Oh, no matter how sweet.

Goal of the tour The tour may have been quite interesting, but not effective. 19 goals against 20 weekends and 25 weeks before that, and this is despite the two matches at once, 3-0 and 4-0 scores, as well as a productive game on the left bank (3: 2), as well as a devastating victory of Vorskla 3: 0. But there were too many masterpieces.
