Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Artem Nyzhnyk runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 39. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match29 Aug 2026

Metalist out of the cup

Podillia ended it 3‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A fracture rules Maksym Orikhovskyi out for 27 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Metalist will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Both of them Daniil Tepliakov's — 8.18

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.18, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

A goal and an assist for Melvin de Leeuw — 7.72

Involvement in 2 goals, from a player who spent the ninety minutes doing the thing a manager actually wants: being where the ball was going to end up. 7.72 beside his name.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Artem Kozak 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 Metalist this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tomás Sives falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces31 Aug 2026

Metalist supporters have found a favourite in Tomás Sives

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Tomás Sives has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Maxim Rudakov 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.

Oleksii Horiainov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 40. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match1 Aug 2026

Metalist turn it around against UCSA

Going 4 down does something to a side, and what it usually does is finish them. Not here. Metalist rebuilt the afternoon goal by goal, and UCSA had no answer to any of it.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A day Daniil Tepliakov will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

No sign of nerves from Daniil Tepliakov at 20 — 8.26

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Daniil Tepliakov did not need any: 8.26, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Match1 Aug 2026

Metalist get the job done against UCSA

A 5‑4 win over UCSA, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Vladyslav Rybak signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Vladyslav Rybak and Metalist agree another 3 years.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Vasyl Lutsiv scored one and made one — 7.99

Two of the goals had his name somewhere on them, which is the afternoon a manager wants from anybody asked to both create and finish. 7.99, and 2 involvements.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Metalist

Artem Kozak 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.

The terraces3 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Daniil Tepliakov

At 20 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.

In brief
