The first football weekend in Ukraine of the season came to an end.

New season. New side in history. New blogs. New trends. And the solution is simply a reversal of what, otherwise, at the singing stage consumed the Ukrainian football strength. The Ukrainian Premier League turned around the most secret weekend, which looked more like a symbolic sign - ahead of the already successful campaign.

1st round. 31. 07. 2026 18:00 Zorya 2:0 Kolos 1st round. 01. 08. 2026 13:00 Kryvbas 1:4 Karpaty 15:30 Kharkiv 1:0 Veres 1st round. 02. 08. 2026 13:00 Chornomorets 1:2 Polissya 15:30 Epitsentr 3:0 Obolon 1st round. 03. 08. 2026 15:30 Bukovyna 0:0 LNZ 18:00 Shakhtar 5:1 Kudrivka The attacks of “Left” and “Girnyky” did not catch on in the last season Lviv Carpathians finished quite low, as for ambitions,. At the same time, the hours changed, the club’s activity began at the mercy of the authorities, so the “green-white” may no longer have ephemeral roses about global affairs, and there is enough of the marud squandered work. At a minimum, the transfer campaign in them was filled with completely non-trivial steps.

In the first game of the season against Krivorizky Krivbas, we talked a lot about such a newcomer as Mokha in the center of the Carpathian field. And from guessing how Nazariy Rusin was able to gratify, fortunately, a fortune fell. And yet Fran Fernandez had already seen Kostenko at the forefront of the attack, but nothing, it turned out that this grave has a sufficient supply of versatility to block this position. But the Lvivians still need a full-time central striker.

Because what took place in the game against the team of Patrick van Leeuwen is unlikely to pass against other super teams, as it is trivial not to catch counterattacks and passes behind the backs of their central defenders. However, the “Chervono-Bilikh” did not have a special choice - they put emphasis on the first half, spent it completely poorly, led the team through penalties for half an hour, and lost their advantage through the penalty spot.

And in the other half of the story, the story was just about Lviv football, because Van Leeuwen’s team didn’t understand something before the break, something very young and exchanges through financial support, as a matter of fact, the roster is given signs. However, in the previous season, at the start of this one, the problem with the loss of control over the game is visible in Krivbas from afar.. In the Carpathians, in this plan, obviously, everything was much more beautiful, so the result is this - because of the pressure of destruction and the pressure to defeat.

It was not Karpaty who achieved the greatest advantage on the scoreboard over their opponents in this round, but the dignified champion Donetsk Shakhtar. Apparently, the fact is that the Arda Turan team at the start of the season can beat Kudrivka, without causing any doubts. The food was deprived as much as the team of Oleksandr Protchenko allowed their hard-working supernik to roam.

And in the end, the “Girniks” were also fortunate that at the Lviv Arena they wanted some kind of closure, since the otherwise tough football of the “hawks” in the first half risked exposing their attacking ability. There and so it was possible to hold the first ball from the heart, to the speech - very hot and vigilant, on just an insignificant number of significant moments, and just before the break the standard in the appearance of the cuticle and the diligence once again.

However, here we can see a continuation of the trend from last season - Rozmova and Turan, before the break, strongly influence Shakhtar’s game in the other half, and in a significant number of changes, these changes are extremely positive. In the game against Kudrivka, the Brazilians held the samba itself after the break, and as if they had not inadvertently started the holy day of the “rozstril” in Elias and Alisson, then it would be important not to mean this holy football.

European Cups, let them be short, are dying in the throat of Zhytomyr Polissya and Cherkasy LNZ, unfortunately, they were knocked out of the UEFA Conference League qualifications after their first two-match duels, and now. However, judging by the results of the first round, it is possible that it was better for them, since the team of Ruslan Rotan and the team of Vitaly Ponomariov met with yesterday’s representatives of the First League, and in both cases it was not easy.

I would like to understand: play according to the daily schedule in Odessa and a little later at an hour slot on the next day in Lviv for a sickle cob at the open stadium Ukraine - but don’t fry it. The teams literally lubricated themselves on the football field, so it’s not surprising that they were pumping into their bags the unexpected turns of the day.

Like, for example, the goal of Odessky Chornomorets at the goal of the “Women”, which arrived after Robakidze’s strike from a long distance literally out of nothing. Ale Bushchan can also be understood - maybe a quarter of a year can stand against such a crazy sun, then we can let the snowstorm come later. The velet on this year is no less beautiful, but still less glamorous.

And behind the scenes - Polissia completely outplayed its opponents in the last match after the unsafe game was created by the gaming little guy. Grigorchuk has become a defender, but if there are no flank defencists in you, then it becomes difficult to work. The “Sailors” didn’t get into the bag because of the delays already at the beginning of the second half, and although the “Women” after this looked far from fresh, otherwise punishing them for the price would have been possible before the final whistle.

And since they are already competing against opponents, then in the LNZ after the Belgian Ghent the opponent is still more complex than in Poliss. Bo Bukovyna, of course, still needs to get comfortable on such a level, obviously, they will soon collapse in the food preparation of the home stadium, but whose team Sergiy Shyshchenko is still visible.

Prote pomіtno tse " LNZ, more than tired enemies in the style of power football, is even more aggressive in terms of attack in this match. The team of Vitaly Ponomariov had plenty of chances already in the first half, but initially the shots in the “buzkov” were too weak, and then German Penkov was so tired before the game on the line that his courageous keeper was still needed.

At the end of the first half, the “yellow-blacks” did not really create much before the break, except for one missed shot.. And since Voytikhovsky’s super moments and Zaderaki’s super moments are closer to the final whistle, they guessed that Shyshchenko’s team could be tied for victory. However, the “buzkovs” spent this entire hour not without scoring goals, but, as in the European cups, they still cannot print the gates of the super teams.

Kharkov is richly promising and ambitious, but the path from suffering begins. The transfer campaign of Mladen Bartulovic’s team can be considered for the rest of this summer, since all the problem areas of the “golden-crimson” seem to be. Ale is not without nuances in the game itself. Already the first match against Rivnensky Veres demonstrated that with a significant advantage on the balls, Kharkov competes as badly as before Metalist 1925. This trend has been evident since last season.

The team of Oleg Shandruk, looking far from the strength that they can impose their football on their rivals in this game, but at the same time steadily attacking the Kharkiv people with swift counterattacks. They, in their own way, spent their strength on the flanks of the hole, which ended with goalkeeper Gorokh collecting himself for the battles of the powerful thieves. And so, moment by moment, Kharkov’s statistical superiority grew wildly, except for the cherished ball..

And, chantingly, that no one was beaten in this match, as if the football fate did not count, that the jump from an indestructible attempt to break into the pillbox of Vikonanna Parako may land on its own nose in Ramika Gadzhiev. But if you, like this guy from flattened eyes yesterday, put the ball at the far corner with a signature blow, then you don’t want to chalk it all up to luck. There is still a need to deserve merit.

Great return to home The first season of the “elite” division Kamyanets-Podilsky Epicenter of disturbances is spent daily on foreign fields, but not at their stadium. Tonkocheeva in a local area, the club still hasn’t given up and is constantly trying to work, so that already in this campaign you can start playing at home. We planned it - we planned it. Don’t forget the “European” picture on the TV screen with the stands in the stadium of Perebudova, which also indicates the title sponsor of the team, you can also take into account the atmospheric moment.

Another opponent for the debut game was entirely within the power of the “Podolyans” - Kyiv Obolon, since they are also involved in the home stadium, so we will play including away matches until today. And since in the first half of this great confrontation the teams exchanged striking victories, then after the break the home crowd is already small to cheer for the success of their favorite team in the attack.

Let us bet a penalty against someone else’s goal for the game, but after all, the team of Sergei Nagornyak achieved theirs in this game. Until the end of the 11-meter square, the food supply of the people did not stop, so Cifuentes became the author of not only the first goal at the stadium. Tonkocheev in UPL matches, and I am the author of the first double. Although on the right wing of the attack, Epicenter experienced such a corridor in quick attacks that the defenders of the “brewers” \u200b\u200bcould definitely lead the team many times, and not only Mironyuk would add another goal to himself.

The first match of the season was marked by the emergence of all kinds of conspiracy theories - and the round ended without any judicial pardons, to be quiet - Kovalivsky Kolos Burdi himself blamed for the fact that already in the eighth season the match against. This idea told us the prospects of this confrontation, as it was a great match between two equal teams.

And it’s true that from only the “spikelets” their attack efforts were still steadily trimming under control, and then Zorya lost the ability to lead the group. It was especially good for the team of Viktor Skrypnyk at the top of the line in the period just before the final whistle, and if the balls of Budkivsky and Zadorozhny did find out the left corner of Pakholyuk’s goal, then the puzzle remained closed.

Goal for the tour: Giorgi Robakidze (Chornomorets) Vladislav Veleten (Polissia) Alisson Santana (Shakhtar) Artur Dumanyuk (Kudrivka) The greatest goal for the tour: Kauan Elias (Shakhtar).

The longest coach of the tour is Fran Fernandez (Karpathy).
