Squad

A one-man rearguard from Nazar Yurchenko

There were 8 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.

Maksym Havura asks to leave Epicentr

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Andrii Boriachuk out for 88 days

The medical room confirms 88 days on the sidelines for Andrii Boriachuk, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Tempers go at Epicentr

Mykola Myroniuk 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.

Market

As if he never left: Andriy Haiduchok returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Andriy Haiduchok is a Epicentr player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Market

Viktor Stepanenko is a Epicentr player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Valentyn Kryvtsov is a Epicentr player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Yehor Demchenko

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 22 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Match

Carlos Rojas the difference as Epicentr beat Victoriia Sumy

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Carlos Rojas. 1‑0 against Victoriia Sumy, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

In brief
