How it happened
Kalynivka opened the scoring in the 4th minute through Bondar. Before the break Dolhopiatov doubled the visitors’ lead, and it looked as if the best attack in the league would settle matters early. But late in the first half Horbachenko pulled one back — 1-2 — and the teams went in with the game alive.
After the interval Fortuna pushed for an equaliser but were hit on the counter. The third goal came from Mykyta Komisar, only just on as a substitute, the fourth from Borodenko. Bucha kept going to the end — Kyslov came on for Masalov and the attacks flowed through Plastun and Turku — but the ball kept missing the target.
The ending was a nervy one. In the 87th minute, after a clash between Danylo Volskyi and Ihor Soldat, the visitor was sent off and the Bucha player booked; Kalynivka head coach Andrii Herasymenko was also cautioned for protesting. Liashchuk and Yevdokymchyk picked up the visitors’ other yellow cards.
The table after the round
Kalynivka return to first place with 13 points. Bucha Fortuna stay fourth on nine points, with a game in hand on Tytan and Olimp. The best defence in the league was lost in a single evening: four goals conceded — as many as in the five previous matches combined.
| Pos | Team | P | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kalynivka | 5 | 13 |
| 2 | Tytan (Kyiv) | 6 | 12 |
| 3 | Olimp (Dmytrivka) | 6 | 11 |
| 4 | Bucha Fortuna | 5 | 9 |
| 5 | Denhoff (Denykhivka) | 6 | 8 |
Elsewhere in the round, Tytan won 2-0 away at Sokil, Olimp drew 1-1 with Denhoff, and Partyzan of Kodra beat Kolos 2-1.
What comes next
Fortuna now have two cup weeks: on Wednesday, 16 September, the first leg of the Ukrainian Amateur Cup round of 16 away to Rokyta of Poltava region, with the return on 23 September. In the league, Bucha visit Tytan of Kyiv on 26 September; Kalynivka host Kolos the same day.
As a reminder, the cup draw paired Bucha Fortuna with Rokyta, and in the previous round Bucha thrashed Kolos 4-0.
