Tour solution Three defeats in a row at the end of the autumn part of the season: probably, “Vorskla” was waiting for more, inviting Yury Maksimov to the position of head coach. But Yuri Maksimov probably expected more from his new-old team. After the defeat against “Left Bank”, 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, Chornomorets, Kornienko, Prus and Chernysh. The club management supported Maksimov’s initiative.
Debut tour 
FC LNZ. Andriy 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, Andriy Dykan led the Cherkasy team to the last match of the current year as a mentor. And the first pancake for the former goalkeeper of the national team of Ukraine was not insignificant: an honorable draw with one of the leaders of the championship.
Drama tour In the 53rd minute of the match “Alexandria” – LNZ, the defender of the guests Kaplienko fainted in the penalty area of his team. The first medical aid was given to him by the captain of the Alexandrians, Kovalets. Then an ambulance came to the field, but the player had already come to his senses and left the field on his own. After the match, a message appeared on the LNZ website that everything is fine with Kaplienko.
Rematch of the tour Kryvbas 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 both the referees and the coaching staff of the Lviv team, refusing to shake his colleague’s hand as a result. “Kryvbas” took revenge in their native walls. A sure revenge. However, one ball was missing from complete satisfaction. Yes, Tverdokhlib scored again. Already the seventh goal in the last five matches.
Dissatisfaction with the tour After the match with “Kryvbas” it was the turn of the “Karpat” coach to express his dissatisfaction with the refereeing. “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 “Zorya” – “Chornomorets” at the “Dynamo” stadium, the lighting suddenly disappeared. Fully. The stadium plunged into darkness. In a few minutes, the malfunction was fixed. However, not all spotlights were turned on.
Tour series After losing to Zorya, Chornomorets brought the number of consecutive losses to six. This is the Mariners’ longest losing streak since 2018.
End of the tour The outcome of the match between “Zorya” and “Chornomorets” was decided in the last seconds of the meeting. Bašić dared to hit from outside the penalty area, and the ball flew into the lower corner of the Odesa goal after his strong shot.
In the last seconds, the fate of the match between “Polyssia” and “Shakhtar” was decided. In the last protracted attack, the hosts took advantage of the failure of the center of the “miners’ defense”, and Mykhailichenko accurately shot into the corner of the goal.
Joker tour In the second half of the match “Ingulets” – “Kolos” Orihovsky appeared as a nominal guest, replacing Diego. In eleven minutes, Pavlo removed all questions about the winner of this match, scoring into an almost empty net.
The surprise of the tour “Movement” within the native walls is a serious threat to any opponent. But, as it turned out, not for “Obolon”. The underdog not only gave Vitaliy Ponomarev’s team a fight, but also won a comfortable victory – 3:1. This is the first time this season that the Brewers have scored three goals in one match.
Match of the tour Sunday’s program of the tour was closed by the central match – “Shakhtar” visited “Polyssia”. The Donetsk team had not beaten the Zhytomyr team before. Moreover, Shakhtar has not scored against Polissia in the previous three meetings. “Miners” did not win this time either. And they didn’t score either. The first half of the meeting was spent more actively by the hosts, the second by the guests. 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 Polissia. Bohdan Mykhailychenko Demarche of the tour After the final whistle in the match “Polyssia” – “Shakhtar”, the head coach of the Donetsk team Maryno Pushych did not shake the hand of the head coach of “Polyssia” Imad Ashur. This gesture does not help the coach of the “miners”. You also have to know how to lose.
Words of the tour After the match with “Polyssy”, the head coach of “Shakhtar” Maryno Pushych said that he is not worried about his future in the Donetsk club: “Sometimes people can be really dissatisfied with your work – this is a normal part of football. But I’m really not worried about it. I do my work, focused on my place. Football is a thing where you really don’t always get what you deserve. My potential future does not concern me in this context.”
Return tour Due to an injury, Oleksandr Pykhalyonok has not played for Dynamo since the beginning of October. And almost two and a half months later, the midfielder returned to action. He started at the base of the “white and blue” for the game against “Veres”. The return turned out to be successful: Oleksandr Shovkovskyi’s wards won and went to the winter break as the undisputed favorite of the championship race.
Penalty round You will not often see such a standard draw in our championship. In the game against “Veres”, Dynamo pleasantly surprised their fans and unpleasantly surprised the opponent in the 23rd minute of the match. The hosts were awarded a free kick. But instead of a banal canopy into the penalty area, they decided to play the ball according to the notes. Pykhalyonok passed to Buyalsky, who immediately sent the ball into the penalty area, where Vanat quickly crossed the ball into the far corner of the goal.
