In the 26th round of the UPL, the last to play points at the bottom of the table were the Carpathians and Volhynia. Not so long ago, the Lutsk team even outpaced the Carpathians in the table, but after coming to the post of head coach Oleg Dulub, Green and White began actively gaining points, and to the third full-time confrontation in the season with Volhynia came with a margin of five points over their rival.
Match in the Arena Lviv quite unexpectedly began with the attacks of guests. Volyn so often and regularly attacked from the first minute, which made Borovik already in the 6th minute of the fight to make two cool saves. First, the keeper of the Carpathians repulsed the "shot" Shapoval with a free kick, and two minutes later really saved the team after a good blow Dudik.
On this activity of the guests did not end. They continued to attack, but in the 17th minute they missed. Smooth picked up the ball on the left flank after the error of the defenders of Volhynia, went to the edge of the penalty and skillfully otpasoval to the far post, where Gutsulyaku no one bothered to hammer the ball into the goal. 1: 0.
This goal absolutely did not affect the further development of the game in the first half: Volyn continued to advance, and Borovik worked wonders on the "ribbon". Gerasimyuk and Nikityuk had excellent chances to equalize, but the Karpat goalkeeper caught courage and beat everything that flew in his direction.
In the second half, the teams came out to the accompaniment of wet snow, which fell in a break on the lawn of the Arena Lviv. In the second half Volyn attacked is not as dangerous as it did before the break, but the advantage, anyway, owned. Such moments as in the first half, neither one, nor the other team no longer arose, and the Carpathians smoothly brought this duel to their victory.
