Player ratings

A brace, and Kristian Mba takes the afternoon — 9.09

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Kristian Mba provided it, and the 9.09 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Vitalii Farasieienko was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 25. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Kristian Mba in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Chornomorets this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Chornomorets training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marian Faryna is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Vitalii Farasieienko

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Chornomorets see off Inhulets

Three points for Chornomorets, 2‑0 the final word against Inhulets in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Gilberto Júnior

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout

A satisfied Maksym Buialskyi

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑0, Maksym Buialskyi could afford to be generous.

The dugout

Moses Jarju has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Chornomorets will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Boardroom

Window shuts: 21 in, 2 out at Chornomorets

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 21 arrived, 2 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Kiril Popov

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Transfer targets

Kudrivka tell Chornomorets: Bohdan Vekliak is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Words exchanged at Chornomorets

Caio César and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

The window shuts on the Serhii Petko deal

Chornomorets ran out of time with UCSA. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.

Match

Kristian Mba sends Chornomorets past Victoriia Sumy

It finished 1‑0, and it was Kristian Mba’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Chornomorets.

Player ratings

Kristian Mba was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.23. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

Words at Chornomorets training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Freire is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Vladyslav Klymenko

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
