A one-man rearguard from Andrii Kozhukhar
There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

No sign of nerves from Alagie Wally at 20 — 7.86
The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Alagie Wally did not need any: 7.86, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Veres say no — this time
The offer from UCSA for Dmytro Hodia was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

No end in sight to Veres's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Veres has to find a result from somewhere.

Tempers go at Veres
Wesley Pomba was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

A bad afternoon for Veres against Dynamo Kyiv
1‑2 to Dynamo Kyiv, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Wesley Pomba runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Semen Vovchenko gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Ihor Kharatin is still paying for one afternoon at Veres
Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.
In brief
