Match

Andrii Boriachuk settles it late for Nyva

The 86th minute, half the ground already edging towards the exits, and Andrii Boriachuk decided nobody was going anywhere. Chernihiv had no time left to answer.

Match

Nyva end the wait against Chernihiv

It had gone 7 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Match

Andrii Boriachuk sends Nyva past Chernihiv

It finished 2‑1, and it was Andrii Boriachuk’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Nyva.

Squad

Words exchanged at Nyva

Ivan Palamarchuk 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.

Player ratings

Denys Rezepov stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.97 on the card, and the Nyva support went home talking about one name.

The dugout

Taras Sobol has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Taras Sobol on a 2‑1 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Squad

A ban for Artem Habelok

One booking too many, and a game watched from the stand. Nyva lose him for the most avoidable reason in the sport.

Squad

Andrii Boriachuk is off the mark for Nyva

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

The dugout

Marko Kytsun 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.

Match

No end in sight to Nyva's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Nyva has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Nyva — 7.56

1 for Viktor Korniienko, marked 7.56, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 15 signed and 2 gone

That is the business done at Nyva until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Match

Viktor Korniienko’s goal not enough for Nyva

Viktor Korniienko scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Victoriia Sumy, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

A row about effort at Nyva

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Vasyl Burtnyk was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Marian Mysyk at his very best

Marked 8.10. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Nyva.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 2‑3 Taras Sobol left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad

Viktor Korniienko finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Nyva have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

The dugout

No hiding place for Maksym Mudryi

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Maksym Mudryi, and the manager let it.
