Vintage Yaroslav Kvasov — 8.02
At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.02, and nobody on the pitch better.

Yehor Prokopenko stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Yehor Prokopenko and Podillia agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Nobody could get near Anton Savin
Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Tempers go at Podillia
Anton Savin 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.

Podillia agree a free transfer for Rostyslav-Nazar Diak
Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Podillia promote Yevhen Tsygankov from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Yevhen Tsygankov has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Anton Boyko steps up from the Podillia academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Anton Boyko has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Nazariy Tymoschuk joins the Podillia first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Nazariy Tymoschuk is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
