Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Artem Habelok

19 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Chornomorets lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

Chornomorets are in among the leaders

Position 1 and 37 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Chornomorets

The unbeaten run reaches 10. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Match

The run at home goes on for Chornomorets

13 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Squad

César Lugo is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Tempers go at Chornomorets

Vladyslav Herych 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.

Squad

Vasyl Kurko breaks a bone — 35 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 35 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Chornomorets turn down Poltava for Andrii Khoma

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Magomed Kratov asks to leave Chornomorets

“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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Oleksiy Khoblenko

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Ahrobiznes take the points off Chornomorets

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

Squad

Vladyslav Herych falls out with a teammate over standards

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.

In brief

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Maksym Koval

There were 7 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.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Moses Jarju

24 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Squad

Tempers go at Chornomorets

Maksym Luniov 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 ratings

Giorgi Robakidze shuts the door

Defensive actions: 22, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad

Vitalii Farasieienko signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Vitalii Farasieienko and Chornomorets agree another 4 years.

Match

Mykola Kohut sends Chornomorets past UCSA

It finished 1‑0, and it was Mykola Kohut’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Chornomorets.

Player ratings

Maksym Luniov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

No hiding place for Andrii Khoma

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

Market

Chornomorets and Yuriy Romaniuk 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.
