Review of the match Rukh - Vorskla:
In a fierce Premier League encounter at the Arena Lviv, hosts Rukh Vinniki drew 1-1 with visitors Poltava-based Vorskla. With both teams having scored numerous wins and losses on the season, this game should have been important for both clubs. Both teams had few chances in the first half and, despite a few attacking chances, the score remained 0-0 at the break. The turning point came on 57 minutes when Vorskla's R. Stepaniuk hit the net and put his team in front. But Rukh Vinniki were not about to concede and a double substitution on 62 minutes injected fresh energy into their game. However, their attempts to score came up against a stiff defence from Poltava's Vorskla back line.
In the 90th minute, Rukh Vinnik was awarded a penalty-kick, which was successfully converted by Klimchuk, who levelled the score. The game also saw a series of cards and substitutions, with Poltava Vorskla's S. Yavorskyy sent off for a red card in the final minutes of the game. Despite strong play on both sides, neither team could manage to win by the main time, and the match ended in a hard-fought draw. As a result, Rukh Vinniki and Poltava-based Vorskla remained level on points in the Premier League table, and both teams are likely to aim for the top of the league as the season progresses. Thanks to their strong performances in this match, fans of both clubs will undoubtedly have something to look forward to in the rest of the season.
In the next round the following matches are waiting for the rivals: Metalist 1925 - Rukh, Vorskla - Dynamo.
