Match15 Aug 2026

Elias Telles breaks Oleksandriya hearts

Some goals win a match and some take one off somebody else. Elias Telles scored in the 89th minute, Oleksandriya had already begun thinking about the journey home, and Kolos took the lot.

Market17 Aug 2026

Dynamo Kyiv come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Kolos did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

A defender's goal wins it for Kolos — 7.92

1 for Elias Telles, marked 7.92, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Ivan Petriak will not be coming to Kolos

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Shakhtar is saying, and nobody at Kolos is enjoying the guessing.

Match15 Aug 2026

Kolos cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Arinaldo Rrapaj scored one and made one — 7.73

Two of the goals had his name somewhere on them, which is the afternoon a manager wants from anybody asked to both create and finish. 7.73, and 2 involvements.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Kolos

Elias Telles and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market17 Aug 2026

Business is business: Daniil Khrypchuk goes

Karpaty paid $290.0K and Kolos took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Match15 Aug 2026

Elias Telles the difference as Kolos beat Oleksandriya

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Elias Telles. 2‑1 against Oleksandriya, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Artem Husol, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.31

A mark of 8.31 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market10 Aug 2026

Kolos turn down Poltava for Artem Husol

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

Squad10 Aug 2026

Arinaldo Rrapaj signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Arinaldo Rrapaj and Kolos agree another 3 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Elias Telles in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Kolos this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match8 Aug 2026

Kolos find a way past Epicentr

Epicentr made Kolos work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

Kolos supporters have found a favourite in Ardit Tahiri

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Ardit Tahiri has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Arinaldo Rrapaj

“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 ratings10 Aug 2026

Nika Gagnidze was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 17. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Market10 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Elias Telles's contract

48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

In brief

  • Squad Kolos are still strangers to each other
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • Market Kolos and Oleksandr Demchenko are talking past each other

Market3 Aug 2026

Kolos say no — this time

The offer from Veres for Yurii Klymchuk was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Artem Husol, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.21

A mark of 8.21 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Elias Telles signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Elias Telles commits to Kolos for another 4 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Kolos

Elias Telles 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tymofii Kovryzhenko out for 30 days

The medical room confirms 30 days on the sidelines for Tymofii Kovryzhenko, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

LNZ tell Kolos: Yevhenii Pastukh is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match1 Aug 2026

Artem Husol sends Kolos past Kudrivka

It finished 2‑1, and it was Artem Husol’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Kolos.

The terraces3 Aug 2026

Kolos supporters have found a favourite in Artem Husol

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Artem Husol has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Market3 Aug 2026

Daniil Khrypchuk attracts admirers

The name of Daniil Khrypchuk has come up in conversations Kolos were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
