Match

Cruel end for Obolon as LNZ pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. LNZ scored in the 91th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Market

LNZ say no — this time

The offer from Kryvbas for Danylo Kravchuk was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Muharrem Jashari

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Muharrem Jashari signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Muharrem Jashari and LNZ agree another 4 years.

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at LNZ this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at LNZ training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Oleksandr Drambaiev 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.

Match

LNZ find a way past Obolon

Obolon made LNZ work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Artur Mykytyshyn

At 23 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

No hiding place for Nazariy Muravskyy

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

In brief
