The fucking football weekend in Ukraine is over.
The season of the Ukrainian Premier League is picking up pace, but it is almost certain that the weekend before the Independence Day of Ukraine is now a cup game, so the teams in the third round are actually at risk from the moisture at the start of the season. There are already noticeable trends, and if for some they are positive, then in a large number of teams there are at least two important ones in order to restart themselves before continuing the championship.
3 round. 14. 08. 2026 18:00 Epitsentr 0:0 Veres 3rd round. 15: 08. 2026 13:00 Kryvbas 1:1 Liviy Bereg 15:30 Kudrivka 0:0 Obolon 18:00 Karpaty 3:0 Bukovyna 3 round. 16. 08. 2026 13:00 LNZ 2:0 Chornomorets 15:30 Kharkiv 0:1 Shakhtar 18:00 Dynamo Kiev 2:1 Kolos 3rd round. 17. 08. 2026 18:00 Polissya 1:2 Zorya Ochіkuli na kvoliy Kharkiv — stopped the jabbering Shakhtar Chergovy match with a loud poster at the start of the new season. I am grateful for the participation of Kharkov, who is now the proud champion of the country. And with this football, which the team of Mladen Bartulovich demonstrated in the game against Zhytomyr Poliss at the beginning of last year (1:3), one can hardly believe that the “golden-burgundy” can claim the maximum result from them.
Tim especially with such a cob - the Kharkivians stepped on the same rake that the " And as it has already been said, the “Girniks” themselves were shocked by the fact of such a rapid rise in the progress of the rahunka. The stench just didn’t resound in its protrusions for the rest of the hour.
As a result, the offended teams have abandoned their basic tactics and collapsed already behind the scenario of development of the field.. And here we were told that the “Girniki” were not allowed to control the game for such minds at this stage of the season. Clearings in defense, weak play in attack, the ball in the hands of the opponents (because that’s how they planned to play from the very beginning, judging by everything), and every initiative. Ale rahunok on the scoreboard on Shakhtar's bark.
What also rushed at the meeting, so there was a lack of any destruction in the future, to what extent we had already rung during the hours of Turan, so what, and convey your thoughts to the graves under the hour of short roses, this coach is definitely in charge. But this was a rare incident, since Shakhtar vzagali did not do anything except the football share, which clearly laughed at the “Girniks” at all 32.
For all this, Kharkov’s football, which will again be sharply surrounded by the front line for obvious reasons, looks fresh and will brighten up. At the same time, this provided the nutritional mastery of the Gravians at the stage of completion. If Riznik had already begun to bring in the winners, and Shakhtar’s defense had lost one fight after another, it would have been simply unreasonable not to realize all these scoring chances.
As a result, the “Golden-Burgundy” lost the other one after the initial match at the start of the season, and the third – the Ice Winners will win, and since it’s still too early to talk about the distance, the first alarm bells have already rung. For the Turan team - the same.
Carpathians - now without fail, just like the start of the campaign to come out in such a way that the search for the first real rival for the Lviv Carpathians. Francisco Fernandez's team defeated Kryvbas (4:1) - there was nothing special here, regardless of the willful nature of the result, then the defeat of LNZ - and then the rakhunok, formations on the remaining ridges (3:0), effectively rich. And in the third round there was another victory for the “green-white”.
In fact, the lightest of all the matches played so far. We continue to get to know Chernivtsi Bukovyna, and there are definitely not all the bad things there, as you can see from the number of goals scored by Serhiy Shishchenko’s team. Another round is now approaching a fantastic record for our football of 30 shots on goal against our opponents per game, and this gives us a feeling of satisfaction after watching the match, which did not end in any way.
Ale against the Carpathians, the game for the “yellow-blacks” actually ended in the eighth quarter, when the rahunok became 2:0 in the Carpathians, who scored incredibly easy goals at the goal of German Penkov. Jakby Kozhuszko would immediately respond to another missed ball with his effective kick, then there would be something to talk about. And so - no matter how much Bukovina would not attack, no matter how much Marchenko would not have scored on the balls, which is atypical for himself, but Shishchenko’s team still did not get to the first goal after turning to the “elite”.
As for the Carpathians, then it is necessary to show the visibility of Fran’s team and now calmly close such fights at the final moment. Here it happened in the middle of the other half with a black ball from Kostenka and now an assist from the newcomer Vantukha. Tim spent an hour on food before the real opposition to the Lviv team at the start of the season, judging by this, it will happen to give more to Shakhtar.
Dynamo Kiev has a crisis for the genre. A fiercely combative opponent with a character that fell to the share of Igor Kostyuk’s team after the European Cup, and again the “white-blue” managed to end the starting period of attacking actions with an effective blow. Last year, this led to Dynamo looking for another goal even before the break, taking all the food, and then calmly finishing the match at the other half. Ale now other hours.
Nina's kiyans let through after the glorious goal scored from the first attack of the superniks in the match, in such a manner that Vyacheslav Surkis scored - the goalkeeper's mercy was obvious under the hour of Demchenko's long-range strike. The drunkard of Kolos, before speaking, then repeatedly applied from a distance in the area, so that the goalkeeper of the Hospodars knocked down again.
This missed goal was eliminated in the middle of the first half and, as a result of the success in Dynamo’s actions, it was difficult to achieve. Ruslan Kostishin's team continued to play their football, playing the beginning of the match in order to do everything possible and not concede goals. It didn’t work out from the first try - they renewed the status quo quite abruptly - let’s start all over again. The ear of corn did not demonstrate what was above the title, but the ear of the ear was gone.
Right up to the 73rd century, when Kostyuk already had a chance to bring in the old guard, and Yarmolenko and Buyalsky were in charge and played key roles in another Dynamo scoring attack. On the level of Sichem, Ponomarenkom and Brazhkom, madly. And those who remained on the joys also forgot that in the new year there was already a difference in the active, also unjustifiably fouling the match in the center of the field and depriving the team of the minority to finish the match, from whom they still lost Demchenko, but also the far-reaching gates.
“Vovki” tasted the “men”, but did not pollute Zhytomyr Polissya in the third round, it fell between two fires. Bottom line, having lost a very distant match for Ruslan Rotan’s team against Kharkov (3:1), and in front there will be a game against Donetsk Shakhtar, who is gravitated by Kharkov himself over the weekend. So the “wolves” were happy with everything, especially their important match against Lugansk Zorya at home.
The team of Viktor Skrypnyk will not be considered a hand-to-hand rival this season. Once again has she demonstrated the legitimacy of this assertion?. Zorya came to defend the defense - it was understandable. The information of two mobile phone carriers was sent to the attack, so that it would be trivial to know who should enter each other before the counter-attacks. But in order for such moments to appear, it was necessary to immediately fight off the attacks of superniks.
And with such attention to the gates, as demonstrated by Polissya on the cob of this game, it was important to earn. An unobstructed and remarkably fluid ball for the Rotanya team - Fedor scored the first goal of his career in the UPL, just as Veletnya’s flank pass at the start of this season led to his partner’s effective performance. Mustache. The advantage was lost, control over the situation on the field was reinforced by scoring the ball. What else is needed
Chantly, what is the other goal, which is the residual having taken all the nutrition. Ale, for what purpose was it necessary to step up and kill, for which we were not marked for Polissy. It got to the point where the first half ended with just a couple of chances from Buschan, the first half of Hlushchenko’s shot from a distance was successful, and the other was already shot..
Prote in the context of further respect for himself in the death of the very first of these episodes. Dosvidcheniy Bushchan popliv? Mozhlivo. Recognized in the episode with another missed ball, Polissya was in such a hostile situation. Until then, the goalkeeper was not spared with a jump on Glushchenko’s leg, after making a save from Nesterenok’s shot from the hot corner. And from the 63rd Khvylini Buschan priviz and priviz.
From the very start of the scenario, this match turned into an intolerable one for the Wolves. Because it was impossible to attack again in the Gospodars’ forces, but with such difficulties Poliss stuck his head out! Skrypnyk’s team at that time again switched to the winding mode and the news from mass substitutions did not reach the 78th hour - Zorya zagalom from this group was in control. That might not have been in power, since the remaining moments in the fight were still behind the “men” and their counterattacks?
A couple of “zeros”, which were the goalkeepers. This tour was not complete without matches with a total of goals scored. It is unlikely that it would be possible to engage in fights for the participation of Epicenter and Veres, as well as Kudrivka and Obolon, by reducing the attacking football. Surrounded by the pouch rakhunku on the scoreboard, they still had a lot more - a reckless game by the goalkeepers of one of the teams.
At the end of the opening match of the tour, it was decided about the performance of Valentin Gorokh in the framework of the victory of the “Chervono-Blacks”. Nine saves are an outstanding indicator of the continued superiority of Serhiy Nagornyak’s team in this game. And here we really, on the one hand, would like to recognize the team’s new goalkeeper Oleg Shandruk, and on the other hand, three matches were lost in the past, but if Veres plays in the attack, we can predict the very emotional match against Dynamo, so. And the Epicenter simply didn’t reach this point, but I want to put everything down for this.
Ale bula in this tour is another game, where the goalkeeper took all the respect. Kudrivka tried to fight against the Kiev Obolon from a position of strength. And since the team of Oleksandr Protchenko was more suitable for attacking the attack plan, then if on the right they reached their mercy from the defense, they lost only one person who could turn the “hawks” out of defeat - Anton Yashkov.
Those who, as this 34-year goalkeeper, mentally knew their opponents, who actually shot at his goal, were required to simply. Matkevich and Shulyansky definitely don’t want to zgaduvati this group.
LNZ decided to score a goal and won a fairly calm match against Odessa Chornomorets, which was the first completely home game of the season for Vitaly Ponomariov’s team. There’s a lot to say about this group, and there’s a lot of thirst for it – apparently those two “zeros” were the most abundant on the market. And here we can see Danil Kravchuk at the forefront of the “Buzkovih” attack, who definitely demonstrated more important play in football than Assinor and David before.
In the bag, the hungry attacker, having scored a goal + assist, it seems, can now take his place in the starting warehouse. About Chornomorets, with this bet, you need to earn money for the assessment.
Krivbas once again failed to take a hit. The match at Krivoy Rose was once again sunk under a serious influx of high anxiety, so that instead of one game we were amazed at actually two sides. Exactly on time on the skin, because the gate is activated just before the break.
In the first half of the game, however, the Libyan Coast demonstrated absolutely nothing in attack, while their opponents were struck by Rivas’s magnificent long-range strike, which demonstrated that more than one Mendoza can know Krivbas from Pivdennyi.
However, then anxiety began to set in, as it changed the behavior of the teams in the other half of the game.. “Leleki” finally threw up, and in the first half they had as many as zero shots from direct opponents’ goals, then in the next half there were already 17. One of them is an equally effective shot by Sidney. And since the brothers are looking for cumulative scoring chances, the team of Patrick van Leeuwen started to work on it. Yakbi is not Kemkin - so, I’m starting to see some kind of gatekeeper in us again.
The greatest goal of the tour Yaxon Rivas (Kryvbas) Sydney Santos (Liviy Bereg) Nazariy Rusin (Karpati) Oleksandr Demchenko (Kolos) The greatest goal of the tour - Anton Yashkov (Kudrivka).
The longest coach of the tour is Viktor Skripnik (Zorya).
