Serhii Kyslenko did the work nobody counts — 6.52
16 combined actions and 6.52. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Tempers go at Feniks
Oleksandr Chornomorets 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.

Diego Amarilla’s goal not enough for Feniks
Diego Amarilla scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Livyi Bereh, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The manager makes an example of Daniel Barden
“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.

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.

Diego Amarilla answers Livyi Bereh immediately
Conceding is one thing; the response is what tells you about a dressing room. Diego Amarilla had Feniks level again within 4 minutes, and Livyi Bereh never got to play with a lead at all.

Feniks and Daniel Barden are talking past each other
“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Oleh Synytsia runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Feniks sign Mykola Kocherhin, one for the future
Mykola Kocherhin is 14, and Feniks 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.
In brief
- Market Feniks buy the years ahead of Vitaliy Babenko
- Market Feniks sign Ihor Makarenko, one for the future
- Squad Too much change too quickly at Feniks
