No mercy from LNZ
Kudrivka will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. LNZ were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Tedi Cara scores twice — 9.38
Two goals and a mark of 9.38 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

LNZ say no — this time

Too dear: LNZ walk away from Oleksandr Martyniuk
$880.0K was the most the club would pay and Metalist were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Words exchanged at LNZ
Denys Kuzyk 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.

LNZ sell Adam Yakubu for $490.0K
Adam Yakubu has left for Zorya in a $490.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.
