Match

Nyva out of the cup

Kolos ended it 0‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 12 of the 30 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Match

The wait goes on for Nyva

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Maksym Titov keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Nyva may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Valentyn Napuda 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 Nyva this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

A bad afternoon for Nyva against Metalist

1‑3 to Metalist, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Maksym Lopyrionok 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Vasyl Burtnyk

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

Player ratings

Andrii Drekalo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Maksym Uhryniuk at 20 — 7.94

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Maksym Uhryniuk did not need any: 7.94, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Tempers go at Nyva

Maksym Lopyrionok 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.

Squad

Vasyl Burtnyk 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.

Match

Maksym Uhryniuk the difference as Nyva beat Metalurh Zaporizhzhia

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Maksym Uhryniuk. 2‑1 against Metalurh Zaporizhzhia, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Maksym Uhryniuk

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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Denys Rezepov

“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.

Squad

Maksym Titov stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Maksym Titov and Nyva agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Nyva sign Maksym Titov, one for the future

Maksym Titov is 20, and Nyva 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Radion Posievkin

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
