Show all newsChampionship of Ukraine
The Ukrainian Football Championship is among the leading football club tournaments of Eastern Europe. Football club championship in higher Liga Started in 1992. The elite of Ukrainian club football was created on the basis of teams of the Higher and First League football Championship THE USSR. The first season in the highest division began in the spring of 1992 and included a group stage. The winners of the two groups came together in the final duel, determining the champion team. The first champion of the country became FC Tavria. All subsequent titles were divided among themselves two leading Ukrainian club "Dynamo Kiev" and Donetsk Shakhtar.
During the subsequent time, the number of participants was constantly changing towards a decrease. The regulation of the tournament has changed. Calendar of Games since 1992 was drawn up taking into account games held on the Autumn - Spring system, and the schedule of the meetings suggested a two-digit system, two games between teams, visiting and on the home stadium.
Modernity and club football of Ukraine
In 2008, the football championship in the highest division has undergone transformation. On the basis of professional clubs, an association was created - the Premier League of Ukraine. The new structure received all the rights to conduct an elite football club tournament from Ukraine Football Federation.
Starting from the 2016/17 season, the number of participating teams decreased to 12. The format of the tournament FED involves holding a tournament in two stages. At the first stage, the participants play matches in two laps, the match at home and the game on a visit. According to the results of the first stage, the teams that took the first 6 lines in tournament table, continue to fight for the championship title.
Other six teams are collected in another group in which the struggle for a place in the highest division of Ukrainian football is underway.
To date, the main news from the bird of Ukrainian clubs have an eurocalized orientation. The statistics of the matches of the internal championship are not so brilliant as matches with the participation of Ukrainian teams in the Champions League and Europa League. Despite this, a rather significant audience looks at the online broadcast of matches FED, follows the reviews of the past tours and interests the forecasts of experts.
Perhaps this weekend was played by the latter in front of the quarantine pause tour of the Ukrainian Premier League. Informal information on this score is, official confirmation or refutation will most likely, on Tuesday, when the Fal will hold appropriate consultations with UEFA. What are the matches of the tour, who have passed with empty stands? If you speak short, they turned out very curious. Shakhtar suffered a defeat from "dawn", which, together with Dynamo and Derne, aggravated the struggle for the second line in the standings. The wards of Victor Syrriphena are now caught up with guys Alexey Mikhailichenko, and Alexandra Ryabokonya team is very close. It is impossible to discount with the bills and "Alexandria", which volitional victory over "Colos" did not allow himself to fall behind the applicants for Silver. Much more interesting than a week ago, it was in Lviv Derby. It again ended in a draw, but "Lviv" with the "Carpathians" and distinguished themselves, and two penalties in the end of the main time were not implemented. I again won from Mariupol "Dnipro-1", but in the confrontation of Olimpik and Vorskla, the winner was not defined. Let's sum up the 23rd round of the Ukrainian Premier League in the traditional review on FNK.
First six.
There were many interesting matches in the very quiet tour of the Ukrainian season, but the most intriguing played in Zaporizhia, where "Zarya" took Shakhtar. It is difficult to say whether he justified sublime expectations, but in the first half the field was quite boring. Yes, "Zarya" went to the attack a little more often and the goalkeeper of Shakhtar worked a little more, but the confidence of the young guard of the gorny gates would seek the coolness of the wards of Victor Skripnik's experienced striker. If you remember the moments that have arisen at the dawn gate, it makes sense to mention except that the possibility that, after the drawing of the angular and mistakes, Maharadze missed Moraces, obviously not ready for this gift of fate. After the break, it became a little more fun, but the ball did not go to the gate. The goalkeeper "Dawn" stopped allowing the oversight of the goalkeeper, and the thunder-replaced thunder as if he had forgotten how to get into the target from the limits of the penalty area. The key event of the confrontation happened at the 84th minute, when Mikhailichenko powerfully struck with the edge of the penalty area - 1: 0. After that, the opponents were at one moment: first of Gromov again made doubting in his radical skills, then the "Shakhtar" almost worked the bunch of Tyson Macon with an inaccurate blow of the latter.
The match between the Kiev "Dynamo" and Chernihiv "gums" was interested in the context of the struggle for the pedestal of the honorable. Ward Alexei Mikhailichenko was necessary to defeat due to the sensational victory "Dawn", otherwise Dynamo risked to give up their second position. At the beginning of the meeting, the goalkeepers were soloing: Paste and Buchoan once rescued their teams, and then went into the shadow. All because the game calmed down, moved to the center, and the moments of the footballers stopped creating. Only under the curtain of the first half again it was interesting and fun: Shepelev discharged his gun after the uncertain Gitschenko game, but the shot of the midfielder accepted the crossbar. Havbek realized that he had a shame to beat himself, so in the second half, he moved to the role of the first assistant: it was Shepelev who brought Rusin one to one, and he beat his goalkeeper in the near battle. And only after that the "Desna" demonstrated that he also intends to play in the attack. So, at first, the old scored his head, but the taking of the gate was canceled due to an offside position, then Filippov distinguished himself already legitimate - and the score became equal. Most of all this fact was even the "gum", but "Zarya", who worried about a draw.
Suddenly, the bright and efficient match was given "Alexandria" and "Kolos". Wards Vladimir Sharan spent a lot of strength and emotions in the cup fight against Dynamo, so the weak first time of the reporting meeting can be justified. "Kolos" looked better, attacked much more and more diverse, and it was logical forward: Babogo lost to the martial arts of Sorokin, who used it for exact strike In the corner. "Alexandria" responded to this activity, which led to not the most logical response of the gates: Greckishin irresistibly struck with central Distance under the crossbar. After the break, the team seemed to have changed roles, Already Alexandrians began to dictate their conditions to the opponent. At the 54th minute, the babogo in the fight against Maksimeno under the standard earned for his team of the penalty, which realized Gritsuk. Ten minutes for the "Column" everything became completely bad: Kowalets used the mistake of Maksimenko and made the advantage of Alexandria comfortable. "Colos" returned the intrigue ten minutes before the end of the main time (Lysenko accurately struck his head), but there was not enough guests. The point in the confrontation was put by a reservoir, which after a long cast demonstrated high-speed skills and set the final score - 4: 2.
Second Sixer.
As part of the past round "Dnipro-1", on his field confidently won from Mariupol. Week passed - and the owners again inflicted the Azov "dry" defeat. In the first half, little said that there would be scored balls in this fight. Most dangerous moment Meetings before the break was created by the efforts of the bulence, which was dangerously punched from the penalty area, and the goalkeeper heroically translated the ball in the bar. The Azovs responded to this from Fedorchuk's distant attempts and Kornienko, who were inaccurate. In the second half, the character of football has not changed much, and the players continued to combat the advantage. The decisive moment of the meeting occurred immediately after the players played an hour: the arbitrator of the meeting pointed to the eleven metersmend after used VAR. The anti-generation meeting was officially recognized as his hand in his penalty, and the hero - Hoblenko, who realized a penalty. Mariupol not only did not recover after such a strike, but also missed the second ball: Chichots assisted a suprate who used his chance.
Just a week ago, Lviv and Karpaty found out the relationship between themselves in the first part of the season, and on these weekends two Lviv teams had to meet after the participants in the Ukrainian Premier League were divided into two six. It is worth recognizing that the reporting match turned out to be much more curious. Already in the 3rd minute, Renan could bring the hosts of the field forward, but from a favorable position struck by the gate. "Carpathians" responded to this by a blow of a boychuk in a bar, and then still opened the score: All the same Boychuk, the taking of the gate prevented his brother on his score, which took an auto head. "Lviv" recruited after the break: Renan hung on Yakovelli, who won the struggle from Halla and designed his debut goal to the Fal. After sharing goals, the game calmed down, and again exploded shortly before the final whistle. At first, Sabino violated the rules in his penalty, but the goalkeeper of Lviv, the Sarnavski, who won a duel for the third time in a row after a blow from the "point" after a blow to the third time in a row. Gennady Pasich was upset by this fact, who from annoyance folly on the penalty spot. But Tatarkov, which is interesting, failed to implement a penalty. As a result - 1: 1 in the match of unused capabilities.
The next tour closes (and maybe the entire Ukrainian season) match between Olimpik and Vorskla. Nominal hosts are damping the head coach, the official cause of parting with which the "life circumstances" became, in Poltavaan in this regard everything is slightly more stable. The first in the match the dangerous blow to the goal after the transmission of Pergteu fell on Stepanyuk, and the first attempt of the Balanyuk turned out to be effective: Forward "Olimpika" turned out to be the first on finishing after the strike of Teixer and Sayiv Golkaper. Interestingly, in the first after the missed goal, the attack "Vorskla" earned a penalty: Kichak rudely mistaken, and then hit Louise. However, shehich is not realized, and the goalkeeper "Olimpika" has rehabilitated. And yet on last Minutes The first half of the "Vorskla" restored equality in the score when after the transfer of Cana Kulach was without care in the center of the penalty. From the second half, you can remember the strike of Cana in a bar, unrealized by Stepanyuk, the exit one on one and the chance of Balashov, which for moments to the final whistle played not very damaged.
