Squad

A one-man rearguard from Yurii-Volodymyr Hereta

There were 12 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.

Match

Rukh taken apart

2‑7 to Veres, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

9 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Rukh and Veres in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad

Words at Rukh training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Vlad Răileanu 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.

Squad

Oleksandr Nazarenko is carrying Rukh

12 goals and a season average of 7.26. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Player ratings

Oleksandr Nazarenko in the eights

A performance of 8.30 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings

Vlad Răileanu was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.03. 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.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Rukh dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 2‑7 defeat, delivered by Vitaliy Rebrov to a room that had heard them before.

Squad

The knee: Vasyl Bundash out for 49 days

49 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Rukh lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match

6 goals as Rukh and Metalist go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Rukh and Metalist, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Match

Rukh come up short against Metalist

Metalist left with the points after a 2‑4 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Bohdan Levytskyi 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 Rukh this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Oleksandr Nazarenko beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout

Vitaliy Rebrov: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 2‑4, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Market

Rukh sign Igor Skrobała, one for the future

Igor Skrobała is 20, and Rukh have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Squad

Igor Skrobała stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Igor Skrobała and Rukh agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Yurii Muzhylovskyi 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.

In brief
