The crazy football weekend in Ukraine is over.
The past weekend of Ukrainian football has once again turned out to be quite complicated and intense, so that we can simply praise them with our respect. There are so many potential standoffs that could have been developed in the eighteenth round, and after its completion it can be stated that the balance has been achieved in the absolute majority of losses. If only there had been moments like this that would have been better than those that would have burned in our football.
18th round. 27. 02. 2026 13:00 Dynamo Kiev 4:0 Epitsentr 15:30 Shakhtar 1:0 Veres 18th round. 28. 02. 2026 13:00 LNZ 1:3 Polissia 15:30 Metalist 1925 1:0 Oleksandriya 18th round. 01. 03. 2026 13:00 Kryvbas 3:1 Zorya 15:30 Obolon 1:0 Rukh 18:00 Karpaty Lviv 0:1 Kolos 18th round. 02. 03. 2026 13:00 SK Poltava 0:2 Kudrivka Grandi took theirs on Friday Dynamo Kiev match against Kamyanets-Podilsky Epicenter revived the program of the eighteenth round in the capital, and so, the grass is green on. Lobanovskiy hasn’t achieved much in the past year, so Igor Kostyuk’s team is again unable to take on any opponents on the pitch, which means that the “white-blues” won’t have to give up until the new style..
The intrigue of the bet was that the team of Sergei Nagornyak could defeat their opponents without their greatest effort - counterattacks. Unfortunately, for UPL newcomers, it was not possible to earn money like this. Dynamo completely dominated their opponents, although they could only open the rakhunok for a penalty, which the Epicenter defense saw itself right at the end of the first half.
The guests from Kamyants-Podilsky were unable to get together with the other half, and no one was knocked out. And Dynamo suddenly reported the need for a lot of force in order to ensure that after the football was interrupted, we would be saved by one more goal. And there was a place for masterpieces from the legendary Andriy Yarmolenko, for now.. And it’s definitely impossible to pass the double double Matviy Ponomarenka. It seems that the coaching staff of the national team simply does not have the option of not inviting someone to make a potential debut..
And although between the Donetsk Shakhtar and the Kiev Dynamo there is no active fight for the first place in the tournament table, the main competitor and the principled rival won, then for a decade, because the team of Ardi Turan simply did not win.
Here, too, everyone realized that Oleg Shandruk’s team would have to promote their opponents in such a way that they could not promote Carpathia this year, and at which point they would lose the first stake, since the “Girniks” beat the “chervone-blacks” for. Spoiler: after the standard of a similar shtub Veres and having missed.
But the rivals turned out to be very willing to fight in this game. And not just one half, like Karpaty, but until the very final whistle. Once again, Turan relied on his moment to make substitutions, and again, not without Lassina Traore’s contribution, he scored the game’s greatest goal.
Symbolically, on his 27th day, Valery Bondar was born, after which the Turkish Fahive was not the first to welcome his squad from him in the technical zone. And yet, because of the difficulties that someone else’s defender Shakhtar is facing, he is raising alarm before the European Cups, which are practically no longer available for the “Girniki” until the resumption.
For the central match of the tour, neither Dynamo nor Shakhtar are needed. The championship races in the Premier League this season have seen changes, and so the situation is developing that we are faced with an unprecedented disruption in the context of possible options for the final stage. The eighteenth round had a great match. Before Cherkasy, the Zhytomyr Polissya came to the match against the city LNZ with the obvious intention of getting revenge on the team of Vitaly Ponomariov for an uncontested defeat in the first round (0:2). And also, let’s think that the “wolves” didn’t really want to go to the next place of their rivals, but their arguments before the “filthy camp of the field” were not considered by different authorities.
In the meantime, all the way to Poliss for the pouches of the afflicted one, well, there may be claims? A quick goal already in the fourth half behind the back of an unpredicted combination with a cross from Nazarenka to Andrievsky, and then, finally, in the first half, a similar goal, but in a more forceful manner, scored by the newcomer Emerllahu and. And besides this LNZ, how much time was spent on those in order to understand in a trivial way where the sun is going.
In the other half, for example, the team of Vitaly Ponomariov, having heard the coach’s instructions during the break, played in a different style. Ale y Polissya was going to be different. This is a team that is reducing the result, and in this regard, Ruslan Rotan’s teams are already working under the regime of a true football success, which actually makes a sacrifice before how to achieve.
They got it in the pouch, but they let Assinor through and added a little intrigue. During the moment of the third goal scored by Gaiduchik, the LNZ defense simply guarded the steps on the football field and did not plan to take part in them. And at the end of the day there was a very symptomatic game - the Wolves swung for moments, and then gave the ball to their opponents and checked for mercy. This style will not remind anyone of the first part of the season? It appears that Ponomaryova’s coaches can read in detail.
The disaster of Oleksandriya, the suffering of the “Spanish” Carpathians is so classic Obolon The match that a healthy hearted Ukrainian football fan would definitely not want to watch again in the 18th round, having been in Zhytomyr, de Kharkov Metalist 1925 earlier. These are still ahead in the “yellow-blue”.
And it’s definitely not due to Oleksandriya’s final flight, who came to Zhitomir after a scandal with a transferred grudge against Obolon, for which the offending parties were resolved.. Without game practice, the team of Kiril Nesterenok was there, and the coaching staff made replacements without stopping at the starting warehouse. Prote ti ba yaka marvelous river! It turns out that those who were planning for one competitor did not understand against the other.
After the game, it happened almost in the comments of the action figures that those that the “printers” demonstrated on the football field were part of the global idea. You see, having this idea in mind, let him hit the opponent’s goal with one blow, and allow as many as 29 (!
At the same time, it is also obvious that the young goalkeeper Makarenko was able to pull all the unsafe moments on his own, and, you see, the lad was not spared from the penalty spot, for the sake of which it looked like a capacious decision. Makarenko, before speaking, then even carded himself for the episode, who can be called for the author of the goal Zaberdzhu for the greedy victory of the blow from the badges at the special moment.
Once again it’s time to talk about how the Lviv Carpathians lost football yesterday. Why did they create a price in the game, the first half of which, due to equal absurdity, would not have been allowed to be released in the most closed provincial cinema. And the Greek from him, bezluzdі foli Kozik and Pedrosa in moments from the penalties brought to the plains. Ale yak Faal and Klimchuk, apparently, without saying a word, gave the goalkeepers the power of blows from the badge in one and the same style as the heroes of the episodes? In the bag, the times were divided in bulk according to the periods of activity of the rulers and guests.
And then Kolos scored here closer to the middle of the other half of the game behind the bag to the standard, at the hour of which the Carpathians again lost Tsurikov at the long-distance station, which they were working on in the first half, but were never punished again. Kolos, at this hour, revealed that he was supposed to score another goal, but then he was forced to defend himself, and Burdi’s exile, who was stung in this game by Mikita, who was already clearly nervous and was fighting for the youngest driver, added intrigue to the game.
And here the guests already had a chance to beat down their goalkeeper Pakholyuk, without some minimal help, the team of Ruslan Kostishin would have been clumsy. How about Francisco Fernandez and his work in the new club?. Zero goals in two games against Lviv. And what is the point of loving if you score at someone else’s goal, and not against your superiors?. So far the “Spanish-Ukrainian” union is not true.
It’s hotter in us throughout the tournament table at the current stage of the season, so the skin game looks like some kind of non-crossing stage. In the context of the games at the Obolon Arena there was a lot of trouble, as it had wintered through the stadium’s far from problem-free lawn, and also because of the fact that it was planned to hold two games at the stadium during the round.
And you know, we didn’t do anything special on the ground floor - the classic soft lawn of the Moscow arena, to which one could almost start complaining. They drove normally, although the capital’s metro rails didn’t run straight into the “blue” station.. Look, the lawn is still alive near Obolon.
Well, before the team of Oleksandr Antonenko played against the Lviv Rukh in the fight for a small place in the middle of the tournament table, then Obolon did not transform into an attacking team over the winter, rather than see itself in the forced games. Ten little more hard to play, and this damn “young” team of Ivan Fedik is giving up.
And then the “brewers” \u200b\u200bwere spared due to the injury of Slyusar, and then the newcomer Kirichok immediately without touching Ustimenka, who got out of the way like a vuzh, and scored his own goal. The Rukh didn’t wake up until the end, but turning to the frame, Marchenko said, and this is the most important winter “transfer” of Obolon.
At the match between Krivbas and Zorya, it’s time to start selling 18+ tickets. Bo’s just playing their best teams in this season in a straight-forward, garish sense.. The first time there was a thriller at the Dynamo stadium. Patrick van Leeuwen's team won 3:2. And at the same time, the teams saw no less than Vibuch’s picture, if the viewer asked for another date, and even more scoring chances, and even more, for whom the thief. This episode, if there was an aura of “drought” at the Kolos stadium, could not get over this match.
Chotiri scored in the first half! With this, Zorya scored first, because Dibango’s two failed in one episode. Ale then began to indulge in such indulgences that Krivbas simply could not allow himself not to be quick. The nominal rulers scored with great gusto - Parako giving out a fifth pass, and Zaderak picking up a different pace, and Mendoza catching the goalkeeper of the super teams with a long-range shot.
Before the speech, Krivbas would like to see the strategic goal of not repeating Oleksandriya’s mercy, singing that the field at the Girnik stadium is ready for the football game, so the game has been postponed, which is more likely to appear in the team’s karma, and. In the other half of the match, Zorya tried to maintain the attacking pace, it seems that in two, but the goal limit was exhausted by both sides.
The final match of the round risks turning into a farce. The UPL newcomers at the side of SK Poltava and Kudrivki were the only remaining couple, for the extremely important team of whom at the Obolon Arena we saw another day on the calendar.. All in order to marvel at how Pavel Matviychenko’s team can show signs of vitality on the rest of the tournament table. Getting ahead of ourselves, we haven’t submitted anything there.
And, as it turned out, there was still a deposit on the day of the match, and without planning to give. Possibly - let's speak in a smart way, because for now, we need some specifics, besides information about the potential rise in bets for Kudrivka's overwhelming victory on any Asian bookmaker's exchange,.
And if such information appeared, at the same time from the announcement of the Supreme Committee already in the Ukrainian football structures of the need to close the lines on this group in all offices, then it becomes.
The first half with a small number of naked fruits disappeared, then continued the activity of Kudrivka in another period and the hopelessness of the actions of the Gravians of Poltava in the front line. More hopelessness. And then another penalty in the compensation hour, which was really necessary to try to bring the gate to power in this situation.
Moreover, there is obvious information from the past about those that representatives of the “raspberry-yellow” were tested on a polygraph with a drive and possible participation in “fixed” matches. The results, of course, can be seen here from the tests of Mikhail Mudryk, but spring comes, the snow comes, and under the snow we have... an old, bad time for Ukrainian football?
And if we throw in this conspiracy theory, Poltava ended up losing the rest of the table with nine points for 12 matches before the end of the season. I'm tired of lying around for an hour, I'm tired of it. Ale like a team that managed to beat Dynamo Kiev on the road before the winter and scored two goals against Veres on the road, it was not possible to launch an attack in the frontal game, and at which point the transfer policy there was ruined in an hour of interruption.
Goal for the tour Andriy Yarmolenko (Dynamo Kiev) Denis Ustimenko (Obolon) Oleksandr Andrievsky (Polissia) The greatest goal for the tour is Ivan Pakholyuk (Kolos).
The longest coach of the tour is Ruslan Rotan (Polissya).
