In the final game of the day in the ULP Odessa Chernomorets host FC Lviv. The hosts missed several important players in the starting lineup, the most notable was the lack of Grachev and Didenko, without which the defensive and attack lines were weakened. Yuri Bakalov decided to bet on the Brazilians and, as time showed, not lost. The first half of the meeting was in equal fight, the teams took turns holding the ball, looking closely at each other for a long time and practically not creating dangerous moments. The real opportunity to score was Augusto, who punched in touch after Golikov's move, but Litovchenko reacted to the Brazilian's blow and saved his team.
Almost the entire first 45 minutes took place in an equal fight with a minimum of dangerous moments, collectives took turns in interception of each other's initiative, but the players lacked the idea in the final third of the field, the defenders all read and easily leveled the threat to their own gates. Closer to the end of the inning, Odessa citizens could open an account when Ostapenko struck his head after filing a corner, but Bandura was on the alert and hit Oleg's blow. At the break, the match participants did not leave without scored goals - at the 43rd minute the guests opened the gate Litovchenko, Taylor struck the goal, the goalkeeper repelled his shot, but Bruno was the first to finish and sent the ball into the net - 0: 1.
The beginning of the second half of the meeting was dictated by guests who tried to score an early goal, but could not hold a smashing attack. Eventually, the Odessaites seized the initiative and went ahead with great forces, but in the final third of the field they did not succeed, Cervenkov released three attacking players during the second half, hoping to strengthen the team's game ahead, but none of the new performers could bring something new attack team.
At the end of the fight, the "sailors" went to something similar to the final assault, they earned many standard positions, but the real threat to strangers' gates only arose after one of them, when Chorny dealt a direct free-kick, and Bandura hit the ball in front of him, but Tatarkov I could not take advantage of this, breaking straight into the goalkeeper. In the compensated time the Lvivians earned a dangerous free kick and could double their advantage in the account, but Taylor was unable to throw the ball through the wall. As a result, the guests confidently brought the match to its logical conclusion and celebrated the first victory under the leadership of Yuri Bakalov.
