A one-man rearguard from Vitalii Zhupanskyi
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.

Yehor Hunichev takes the match ball home
3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Denys Shakhov steps up from the Feniks academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Denys Shakhov 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.
