The solution of the round Three defeats in a row at the end of the autumn part of the season: probably, “Vorskla” expected more, inviting Yuriy Maksimov to the post of head coach. But Yuri Maksimov probably expected more from his new-old team. After the defeat against “Levoya Berega”, the coach of the Poltava team said that in the spring part of the season he does not count on seven players at once – Shkriel, Kovtaluk, Kulakovsky, Chernomorets, Kornienko, Prus and Chernysh. The club management supported Maksimov’s initiative.
Debut tour 
FC LNZ. Andrey Dykan On the eve of the match against “Alexandria”, the management of LNZ finally officially announced the termination of cooperation with Andres Carrasco. The Spaniard left the team after a series of losing matches. Instead of him, Andrey Dykan led the Cherkasy team to the last match of the year as a mentor. And the first pancake for the former goalkeeper of the Ukrainian national team did not turn out to be a lump: an honorable draw with one of the leaders of the championship.
Drama tour At the 53rd minute of the match between “Alexandria” and “LNZ”, the visiting defender Kaplienko lost consciousness in the penalty area of his team. Captain Aleksandriytsev Kovalets gave him the first medical aid. Then an ambulance drove onto the field, but the player had already recovered and left the field on his own. After the match, a message appeared on the LNZ website that everything was fine with Kaplienko.
Rematch of the round Kryvbass lost to Karpaty in the first round match. He lost crushingly – 0:3. The coach of the guests, Yuriy Vernydub, then threw lightning bolts at the referees and the coaching staff of the Lviv team, refusing to shake his colleague’s hand in the end. “Kryvbass” took revenge at home. Confident revenge. True, one ball was not enough for complete satisfaction. And yes, Tverdokhlyb scored again. Already the seventh goal in the last five matches.
Dissatisfaction tour After the match with “Kryvbass”, it was the turn of the “Karpat” coach to express his dissatisfaction with the refereeing. Vladyslav Lupashko said that “When the same moments are interpreted differently, football players feel it and start to get nervous. Such moments are the feeling of a football player when there is injustice,” said Lupashko.
Tour incident During the break in the match “Zarya” – “Chernomorets” at the “Dynamo” stadium, the lighting suddenly went out. Completely. The stadium plunged into darkness. In a few minutes, the malfunction was eliminated. However, not all spotlights were turned on.
Tour series “Zare” lost, “Chernomorets” brought the number of consecutive losses to six. This is the longest losing streak of the Mariners since 2018.
End of the tour The outcome of the match between “Zarey” and “Chernomorets” was decided in the last seconds of the meeting. Bašić decided to hit from outside the penalty area, and the ball flew into the lower corner of the goal of the Odessa team after his strong shot.
In the last seconds, the fate of the match between “Polesia” and “Shakhtar” was decided. In the last protracted attack, the hosts took advantage of the failure of the center of defense of the “Miners”, and Mykhailochenko accurately shot into the corner of the goal.
Joker of the round In the second half of the match “Ingulets” – “Kolos”, Orikhovsky appeared as a nominal guest, who replaced Diego. Eleven minutes later, Pavel removed all questions about the winner of this match, scoring in an almost empty net.
Unexpected tour “Movement” in the native walls is a serious threat to any opponent. But, as it turned out, not for “Obolona”. The outsider not only gave a fight to the team of Vitaly Ponomarev, but also won a comfortable victory – 3:1. This is the first time in the current season that the Brewers have scored three goals in one match.
Match of the round The Sunday program of the tour was closed by the central match – “Shakhtar” visited “Polesya”. Donchans have not yet defeated the Zhytomyr team. Moreover, in the previous three meetings, “Shakhtar” has not yet scored against “Polesia”. The “miners” did not win this time either. And they didn’t score either. The hosts spent the first half of the meeting more actively, while the guests spent the second half. However, Imad Ashur’s wards still had the last word. In a protracted attack, Mykhailichenko scored the winning point at the end of the match.
FC Polesie. Bohdan Mykhailychenko Tour demarche After the final whistle in the match “Polesye” – “Shakhtar”, the head coach of the Donetsk team Maryno Pushych did not shake the hand of the head coach of “Polesye” Imad Ashur. This gesture does not flatter the coach of the “miners”. You also need to know how to lose.
Tour words After the match with “Polesie”, the head coach of “Shakhtar” Maryno Pushych said that he is not worried about his future in the Donetsk club: “Sometimes you can be really dissatisfied with your work – this is a normal part of football. But I really don’t worry about it. I am doing my job, I am focused on my place. Football is such a thing where you really don’t always get what you deserve. My potential future will not bother me in such a context.”
Return tour Due to an injury, Alexander Pykhalenok has not played for Dynamo since the beginning of October. And almost two and a half months later, the linebacker returned to the line-up. He started in the “white and blue” team for the game against “Veres”. The return turned out to be successful: the wards of Alexander Shovkovsky won and went to the winter break as the absolute favorites of the championship race.
Penalty round You will not often see such a player of the standard in our championship. In the game against “Veres”, Dynamo managed to pleasantly surprise their fans, and unpleasantly surprised the opponent at the 23rd minute of the match. The hosts received the right to a free kick. But instead of a banal canopy into the penalty area, they decided to play the ball to the faithful. Pykhalenok passed to Buyalsky, who immediately sent the ball into the penalty area, where Vanat promptly sent the ball into the far corner of the goal.
