Ex-Dynamo goals helped Zorya defeat an outsider and increase the lead over Dynamo: video reviews of UPL matches

On Saturday, March 11, the 17th round of the Ukrainian Football Championship kicked off with matches in Minay, Kyiv, Petrovo and Odessa.

Championship of Ukraine. 17th round

March 11 (Saturday)

Zorya (Lugansk) – Lviv – 3:1 (Rusin, 34, Imerekov, 54, Bulets, 70 - Bugai, 87). Junior match has been rescheduled.

In the last round, the wards of Patrick van Leeuwen, thanks to two goals in stoppage time, beat Vorskla. Of course, Zorya was burning with the desire to defeat the outsider, who signed 14 (!) newcomers in the winter.

And the Luhansk team did an excellent job at the capital’s Dynamo stadium, thanks to the goals of the ex-Dynamo players Rusin and Buletsa, as well as an accurate header by Imerekov, winning and increasing the lead over Dynamo to four points.

“Minay” - “Alexandria” - 1:1 ( Vitenchuk, 2 - Tretyakov, 84). Junior teams - 0:2.

Transcarpathians in two March matches with Shakhtar (1:4) and Lviv (0:1) did not score a single point and entered the game with Ruslan Rotan’s team with a great desire to finally please their fans. Moreover, the mentor of “Minaj” Vladimir Sharan at one time worked for a long time and fruitfully in “Alexandria”.

And the home team was in the lead for 82 minutes after Vitenchuk’s quick goal, but the guests, thanks to the efforts of their best scorer Tretyakov, were able to recoup. Three matches - three draws. Rotan, after joining Oleksandria, has not yet won, but he has not lost either (although each time his wards had to recoup).

“Ingulets” (Petrovo) - “Metalist” (Kharkiv) - 2:1 (Odaryuk, 28, 77 - Party, 64). On 90+5 minutes, Pati (Metalist) was sent off. Junior teams - 0:0.

Sergey Kovalets made a brilliant debut as head coach of Ingulets. After the victory over Dynamo in the capital, the wards of the 54-year-old specialist defeated Metalist in their native Petrov. At the same time, forward Odaryuk scored with accurate shots (three!) in both matches.

“Chernomorets” (Odessa) - “Metalist 1925” (Kharkiv) - 1:1 (Alefirenko, 9 - Vachiberadze, 19). Junior compositions - 3:1.

If the team of Roman Hryhorchuk started the spring part of the season with a victory in Rivne, then Metalist 1925 experienced horror in the form of a defeat from Shakhtar with a score of 0:7.

To the credit of Edmar’s guys, they were able to recoup in Odessa and won one point. By the way, Kharkiv team has had no particular problems with away matches lately (1 win and five draws), but with nominally home matches it’s a disaster (1 win and four losses).

1. Dnipro-1 - 36 points (15 matches);

2. Shakhtar - 36 (15);

3. “Dawn” - 34 (17);
