Match28 Nov 2026

The wait goes on for Karpaty

12 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match28 Nov 2026

The goals have deserted Karpaty

10 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Karpaty can tell you which week it ends in.

Tempers go at Karpaty

Xeber Alkain 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.

Match28 Nov 2026

Polissia take the points off Karpaty

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Words at Karpaty training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yaroslav Karabin 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.

Squad30 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Ibrahim Sacko

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

In brief

  • Player ratings Stênio runs at them all day

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market24 Aug 2026

Andrii Buleza hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Karpaty can pretend not to have heard.

Match22 Aug 2026

No end in sight to Karpaty's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Karpaty has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Karpaty

Valentyn Rubchynskyi 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.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Illia Kvasnytsia runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad24 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Tymur Stetskov

“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.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Xeber Alkain was the difference for Karpaty

Marked 7.70. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Match22 Aug 2026

Honours even between Karpaty and Obolon

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Karpaty pick somebody else ahead of Exequiel Márquez

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

In brief
