As part of the 1/16 finals of the Cup of Ukraine-2025/26 Polesie, the rates will play nominally home match against Donetsk miner.

Polesie bids – Shakhtar Wednesday, September 17, 15:30. Tempo, Kyiv. The main referee is Dmitry Yevtukhov (Dnipro). Light broadcast on upl.tv Shakhtar Donetsk will play against Polesie in a cup match. At this point, the fans of the Miners should have unpleasant flashbecks of the latest confrontations against the “wolves”. But this time it’s not about them. The updated format of the Cup of Ukraine brought to the level of “elite” teams amateur teams, and here Polesie from the village of ponds belongs to their list. Let it also come from Zhytomyr region.

In general, it is a rather age -old team, as for our football, because it was founded in 1988, but on the current shade of its history is only the amateur level of the Championship of Kyiv region. Although the Polishchyk at first won a similar championship of their own area, the full -scale invasion has changed everything in the life of this club as well. Kalinovka prevails in the capital region at this level, so it is difficult for the team of Yaroslav Klimchuk to engage in Gold.

However, in the Cup, she made her first step – beat the rebel (3: 0), after which she received such “prizes” during a draw in the form of the incumbent owner of the trophy, which she would not wish for rivals. Donetsk Shakhtar is a very limited list of our European Cup fighters, so the stage 1/32 of the finals flashed past it. And it is, in fact, for the Arda Turan team only for the better.

Because the Miners worked on the border during the summer, and if they received another game before their schedule, even reservists could not be enough for this distance. However, this time, without the involvement of those who, for one reason or another, received less game time, just do not do. A draw against the Kharkiv Metalist in 1925 with a bitter sediment (1: 1) remained behind – it also took place in the heart of Zhytomyr region, and a game against Lugansk Dawn ahead of the Luhansk Dawn was ahead. So we are waiting for a powerful rotation, and there may be the underdogs, which will be caught for.

There is no experience in the Polesie at this level for this level, but the Klimchuk team includes players who are even related to the same miner. It is a midfielder Sergei Gorbunov, whose career was also Dnipro and Dnipro-1, Metalist and Carpathians. There is also Eugene Zadoy in the center of the field, which we remember well for speeches for the ear, but also no one forgets about Sergei Siminin and his period in Volyn. Therefore, experienced UPL football players will be what to tell their classmates.

Estimated warehouses Polesie bids: Pazenko – Melnychuk, Rudenko, Klimchuk, Maximets – Duchev, Zadoy, Chernetic – Balhatsky, Golovko, Gorbunov.

Miner: Fesun – Konoplya, Nazarina, Marlon, Azarov – Glushchenko, Kryski, Tsukanov – Swed, Marellish, non -arrival.
