The crazy football weekend in Ukraine is over.
The twenty-sixth round of the Ukrainian Premier League, as well as the eleventh of the first round of the season, must be on the table so that the patients could not even think of missing one of the. And again, fortunately, we became testimonies of productive football, and in that single episode, where there were no goals on the side of both teams participating in the confrontation, all of them were the ones for the other victories. The first speculative weekend of 2026 in our football seemed quite speculative.
Round 26. 01. 05. 2026 15:30 SK Poltava 3:3 Kryvbas 26th round. 02. 05. 2026 15:00 Oleksandriya 0:3 Kolos 15:30 Veres 3:3 Epitsentr 18:00 Karpaty Lviv 0:0 LNZ 26th round. 03. 05. 2026 13:00 Obolon 1:1 Kudrivka 15:30 Metalist 1925 0:1 Polissia 18:00 Dynamo Kiev 1:2 Shakhtar 26th round. 04. 05. 2026 18:00 Rukh 1:2 Zorya Classic, after everything became clearer The decision to participate in the central match of the round for the Donetsk Shakhtar was the worst possible: the game on the Dynamo Kiev field fell directly. More supers, seemingly, were charged for a positive result.
It's not enough to fight against the " The outline of the position in the tournament table, which was formed literally in the last couple of years by the team of Arda Turan. The very same thing encouraged the Turkish fighter to work in such a way that he is unlikely to be spoiled for other situations - there may be a renewed rotation for a highly principled match against a hungry opponent. Ale navіt at such a warehouse Shakhtar overpowered zooms.
Wanting everything to begin for Donetsk residents, it’s not too far away. We had a chance to play in the middle of a football field, and at that very moment the hammers were about to strike a blow. The starting line, let's face it, the "
This led to an unpleasant rakhunka on the scoreboard for the most part. Another goal from Viyshov like we already scored at Shakhtar’s goal this season in the first round match against the Lviv Carpathians. Todi Yukhim Hemp also relied on the “softness” of the decided referee in the episode with a frivolous foul, which in other circumstances was recorded by Oleksandr Afanasyev, also known as Classic - history, for. In addition, the professional referees recommended before the season “let’s fight”. From you and the fight.
If you miss the ball, then the Turan team after Crystal Peles can hardly be revived. The reaction of both teams to this event in the future was impressive. And there the picture appeared to be even more ambiguous for Dynamo, since Kostyuk’s team simply did not want to expand their advantage, and even before the end of the first half, Shakhtar began to work those that had become ripe for the other half of the team.
“Girniki” not only played well, but also played in a brazen manner in a forceful style, otherwise I think they have learned from the “sklyars”. Lassina Traore, in this regard, became the MVP of this match, so as to work in someone else’s penalty area, the Burkinanese did not always allow himself to be attacked by Matviy Ponomarenko himself.
The Protean team of Turan was far from blameless after the break. Especially in the final part of the match, if Dynamo itself can supply power to the drive of the one who suffered a defeat in that match. Since Guerrero’s goal was touched by another dotik after appearing on the field as a substitute, it was offside, and from the moment of Yatsik, Mikhavka, and Guerrero in the remaining seconds, there was already great power both before Shakhtar’s stop and before the conversion. Ale highlights on the scoreboard, but what to marvel at globally is at the tournament table. +16 points from the double super to the value of "
In other circumstances, the central match of the tour is true, just from the point of view of the situation in the tournament table, Zhitomir has a close relationship between the Kharkiv Metalist 1925 and the local Poliss a few years before. Because both teams were still in the race for high places, and everyone was worried that they had played Cherkasy LNZ for the spoils, they wanted to bet against Dynamo in Klasichny, the prospects for both teams were quite bad.
However, what this game showed us in the pouch? A completely disastrous first half for the team of Mladen Bartulovich, who, finally, created their greatest scoring moment of that evening, and with Peter’s final shot back at the goal there is simply no talk about what. To this day, the team of Ruslan Rotan is obliged to control the progress of the process and, most importantly, the minds are determined by the goal, which has become the most important.
The truly analytical headquarters of the “Wolves” was entirely enough to marvel at the results of the remaining matches of the “Yellow-Blues” and to understand the obvious pattern in the difficulty of playing productive football against the equal or better of the class of teams.
Polissya, melodiously, it’s still up to the other category at the production stage, so if the ball kicked in the feet of the Metalist 1925 graves at the other time, from what exactly did the stinks start to spread to the rivals? Nothing. At the end of the match, the two shouted at the referee for a penalty for hitting the ball in his hand, but the share of the winemaker is to call those who still have any arguments about the power of the bark. And what were the advantages of the Kharkivians in this match
The rest of the “central” matches of the tour are the least productive But it’s not surprising. On the field of the Lviv Ukraine stadium, teams competed against each other, one of which was pursuing a streak without conceding goals, and the other was the Cherkasy LNZ of Vitaly Ponomariov, and that’s all said. In this case, to give an assessment of the entire course of the struggle, Francisco Fernandez literally turned his gate Nazar Domchak from the wormwood of criticism.
But football in the Lviv Carpathians of that Saturday evening began without promoting success and without depriving the enemy that the situation was under the control of the “Lefts”. Especially in the final half of the second half, where, we will see, the arrival of a penalty and further mercy in the defense of the field would be even more expensive for the rulers of the field.
Well, judging from everything, the “buzkovs” have simply burned out, so now in the upcoming round, we’ll have to get our thoughts together, or in us, sooner than later, there will be a new ruler of another meeting of the tournament table. And the Carpathian series is so troubling, but at the same time it also raises the price tag of their goalkeeper on the transfer market.
Goal mischief in the lower part of the tournament table The tour began with a match between the absolute outsider SK Poltava and Krivorizky Krivbas, with a 5:6 score against Dynamo Kiev, everything seems to be a little in shock. And then you see - soma hvilina gri, rahunok 2:0 on the score of Patrick van Leeuwen's team, and even more khvilina, and rahunok is already 2:2. And then five more times - and now 3:2.
And this will already lead to the creation of a great audience, who will fight until the balls are scored, actually at the same time. However, once again, there will be critics who will say that everything is “fucked up” and “there is no football there”. Well, the skin is in its own hands, and in the meantime we continued to marvel at the productive load there, which actually didn’t transfer from the very cob.
However, once again, the same situation was known, and the teams stopped here in the middle of the first half, after which, before the break, it was not necessary to understand how Krivbas could turn to an attacking mode, and after the teams turned around, there was no more.
Because at the goal of Pavel Matviychenko’s team, three more balls actually flew in, so the goal was completely different, but only one of them was lost, which really angered Patrick van Leeuwen, who is in direct ether for the whole. I mean, there were moments in this match when Igor Paschal from Kherson completely lost control of the situation.
And we saw another incredibly effective duel with a couple of teams, to which, judging from everything, we will now fight in the face of the goal.. Rivnensky Veres for these very same days, having conceded two goals on a strong field against the Kamyanets-Podilskyi Epicenter, after which, in a sing-song manner, immediately vindicating in memory the match of the first stake between the teams and even more fun 3:2 on.
And on the cob, already on the other half, the oysters came extremely close to that rachunka. The “Chervono-Blacks” won with a doublet of style goals from the right flank, and then the Epicenter scored their third goal, and this really became the main thing in the further move on the field.
І axis, team of Sergiy Nagornyak, traction of the rakhunok to the remaining slopes. Here they defend - here they attack, the best football for the newcomers of the UPL in their debut season, but the standard comes at their goal, and we are actually the same ones that one round before against Oleksandriya (1:1). Victory at the same time would have eased the pressure on the Epicenter before the final rounds, but it was time for the guests to play through the black and white of the powerful thieves. The trend ahead of the global tours is dangerous.
Kudrivka rob hid Baranovim zadla poryatunku І tse hid - at the door of the club base for the head coach. This was the reaction of ceremonies to the match on the field of a direct competitor in the tournament table in the interzones of transition matches, Kiev Obolon. The Hawks saw a weak first half, after which they could have been shut out in terms of the result and left their position with another goal right away..
Alas, as if Kudrivka missed this stage, after which she scored on the remaining hills, she wanted to put an end to the ball, otherwise nothing would be a result that no one would need from this couple. Also, all dissatisfied heads rolled, recognized from one of the parties. What do they expect from Kolos, Rukh, LNZ and Dynamo ahead of the calendar?. Obolon will then have Epicenter, Shakhtar, and also Kovalivtsi and Cherkassy. Hotter.
Oleksandriya plays for a long time, but there is no need for her to succeed. Volodymyr Sharan’s turn to sit on the side of the “polygraphs” was made with an obvious purpose - the team after important rivals for the beginning of 2026 is small in the calendar..
Utim, two key duels on this course, against the “raspberry-yellow” (3:3) and the Epicenter (1:1), lost the “polygraphs” without victory, so they naturally will not go ahead. Chi hide? Here, most likely, there will be a cabinet story involving the Lviv Rukh, so in Alexandria there is only one task - not to fail at the next meeting.
And we are aware that the cheerful football Poltava is getting a ball in the game against Krivbas, Oleksandriya may even fly into the wall without a chance, as with itself on Nika in whose round the Kovalivsky Kolos was brought. A very calm victory for the team of Ruslan Kostishin, as it may be. Due to the major holes in the defense, the defense of the opponents at the key moments of the match. I quotation of " Polissya, Zorya, Rukh and Krivbas are in front - from and joke now those little balls.
The violinist at the dispenser knows the needs of joining the “men” At the Luhansk Zorya, there were 35 salable points for the rakhunka before the cob of the tour, which will bring more beyond the mathematical limit that allows you to calmly. To qualify for the European Cup, Viktor Skrypnyk’s team needed to beat Shakhtar and Dynamo, then it would be even better for everyone. Otherwise, just finish the campaign.
However, it is necessary to maintain a good and powerful image, so that in the first half in the match against Lviv Rukh in this round, Zorya, judging from this, did not notice that there was no turbulence. The team of Ivan Fedik scored the first and last flank goal, and in the same way controlled the progress. It wasn't until the break, at which point, as they told Zorya's footballing spirit, that it wouldn't be possible to get any better than this.
Bo “no one has ever seen such a Skrypnik from the dignified graves”. What exactly was there - let it be lost there, and this time we treated that same Zorya in another half, which is tritely not like those that happen on the football field. And there, where the fortress is placed, there will be signs of the eternal reverence of the Viconavians. The “men” are at fault, as it was not easy for them to guess, and after rough pardons, the protection of the Rukh again has to capitulate. Youth sank the crew, although the key current is clearly here in the ship’s administration cabin.
Goal for the tour Matviy Ponomarenko (Dynamo Kiev) Igor Kotsyumaka (SK Poltava) Vadim Sidun (Epicenter / first goal) Oleksandr Demchenko (Kolos) Maxim Bragaru (Polissia).
The longest coach of the tour is Arda Turan (Shakhtar).
