Polesie bids – Shakhtar, UPL Photo September 17, 2025, 17:27

The UEFA Champions League prevails in the European football arena in the middle of this week, and since Ukrainian clubs, unfortunately, are not involved this year, all participants in the Premier League can join in the Cup of Ukraine. At the stage 1/16 of the competition finals, the current winner of the trophy, Donetsk Shakhtar, was added to the list of teams, and received himself as the first rival of a representative of our country’s amateur football.

Polesie ponds are generally originally from Zhytomyr region, but after the start of a full-scale invasion of the champion of its region joined the championship of neighboring Kiev region among amateur teams. Of course, the level of competition is slightly higher here, which is why the team of Yaroslav Klimchuk has not yet managed to hold in the hands of “gold” medals, but still not as high as he threw a lot of the updated format of the National Cup. So high “Polish” have not yet taken away.

Indeed, as it was expected, Turan put on this game a “reserve” warehouse with a newcomer Izaki in the center of the field. He was not as a result of the main actor of the first half, but he still drew attention to himself for rivals. Meanwhile, three dangerous blows were gathered in the account of the right defender Vinisius, two of which went to the goalkeeper until the rest of the partners were relatively silent in the attack.

Shakhtar did not show any particular thirst for scoring fast goals in this rain in advance to remove all the questions about the determination of the winner and eventually delayed so much that the Polesie began to appear moments for blows. Inaccurate, however, but at least something. And the Pitmen had a non -arrogant damage shortly before the break, instead of which another newcomer appeared on the field – Luke Marellish, and from the first attempt he ended his head with a blow to the corner from the right flank from Lucas, which won the guests and won the meeting.

In the second half, Polissya did not come close to other people’s gates in principle, and what to say about the creation of some goals. It was necessary to reflect on the constant attempts of rivals to double the advantage, because Shakhtar players felt well that the second ball should finally bury the intrigue. And in fact, the Miners would have to score it if it were not for the error of the arbitrators.

There were no questions about the first potential effective blow of Izaki – Vinisius from the offside on the right flank made a shot, so his head of his Brazilian classmate was very appropriate at the beginning of the half. But when the defender served on the midfielder for 74 minutes, the arbitrators saw the game with their hand to the end, although the repetition testified that it was wrong and the ball hit the chest. But there is no Var at this stage, so the dreamy ball in its debut at its expense was not received.

As for the state of the account in favor of the miner, there was not enough to increase the advantage without the moments. However, the ball at Pazenko did not openly wanted to go. It is clear that it also counteracts it as well. And so gradually, time came to the moment when the nominal masters of the stadium in Bucha received two opportunities when serving the corner from both flanks at the end of the game, but we never saw an accentuated blow from them. What you do – level is level.

The final whistle of the chief referee Dmitry Yevtukhov from the Dnieper was sent to the Donetsk Shakhtar to the next round of the Cup of Ukraine, while for Polesie the raffle of this tournament was completed.
