The seventh-round Kyiv region Premier League match Tytan v Bucha Fortuna at Kyiv’s Zmina stadium on 26 September was not completed. In the 67th minute, with Bucha leading 2-1, play was halted by an air-raid alert for the second time that evening, and the rest of the game was postponed. Fortuna’s goals came from Vasyl Koropetskyi (3rd minute) and Mykyta Sviderskyi (57th), Tytan’s from Dmytro Shakun (28th).
For both sides it is the first of three meetings in three weeks: under the Ukrainian Amateur Cup bracket, Fortuna and Tytan also face each other in the quarter-finals on 7 and 14 October.
The time and venue were announced by the club; the standings come from the Kyiv regional football association table.
How it happened
Bucha started fast: in the 3rd minute Vasyl Koropetskyi finished off Yevhenii Zadoia’s corner, and in the 7th another corner ended with the ball hitting the post. In the 26th Kristian Turku was booked for fouling Dmytro Voznyi, and in the 28th Tytan equalised when Dmytro Shakun scored after Denys Skepskyi’s free kick. Before that Denys Sabatiuk had got down to keep out Roman Tkachenko’s low shot.
In the 35th minute play was halted by the first air-raid alert — the break lasted about five minutes, and the teams went in at 1-1. After the break Tytan freshened up, bringing on Yaroslav Hlynianyi and Kostiantyn Beziazychnyi. But in the 57th minute Fortuna went ahead again: Bohdan Hora fought for the ball, Mykyta Dzen played it to the far corner of the box, and Mykyta Sviderskyi beat Roman Pazenko with a shot that was not powerful but accurate. In the 67th minute a second alert sounded — and play did not resume that evening.
What the game showed
Set pieces decided it. Both first-half goals came from deliveries: Yevhenii Zadoia’s corner for Fortuna and Denys Skepskyi’s free kick for Tytan. Another Bucha corner ended with a shot against the post. Ahead of the cup ties on 7 and 14 October, both coaches have something to think about right here.
Tytan’s top scorer was kept on a tight leash. Dmytro Voznyi has six league goals, one of the best tallies in the division. When he could have broken through after a good pass, Kristian Turku stopped him with a foul and took a yellow card. Tytan’s other main scorer, Kostiantyn Beziazychnyi, started on the bench and only came on in the 55th minute, when Tytan were already looking for a response.
The newcomers are already paying off. Fortuna’s second goal came from open play, and it was created by Mykyta Dzen: on Wednesday he marked his debut with two goals against Rokyta, and this time he set up Mykyta Sviderskyi.
Air-raid alerts broke up the game again. For Bucha it is the second match in a row stopped by alerts: on Wednesday the Rokyta game was interrupted three times, and now twice — the second time for the rest of the evening.

The table
After the seventh-round matches that were completed, the Kyiv regional football association table has Kalynivka top on 19 points from seven games. Yuriiv of Bila Tserkva are second on 13, followed by Tytan and Olimp of Dmytrivka on 12 each — but Tytan have played six matches and Olimp seven. Fortuna are sixth on nine points and have played the fewest matches in the league, five. As the club explained, two of Fortuna’s games were halted by air-raid alerts and have not yet been counted: against Partyzan in the first round — in the 56th minute at 2-0, and against Tytan — in the 67th minute at 2-1.
If Bucha hold on to their lead when the game is completed, they will draw level with Tytan on points with a game in hand. Last season the two sides drew both meetings: 0-0 in October 2025 and 2-2 in May 2026.
Who Tytan are
The Kyiv side only made their debut in the regional championship last year, and this September they produced the biggest upset of the Ukrainian Amateur Cup: they beat the reigning Ukrainian champions Agrotekh 1-0 twice — at home and in Tyshkivka, where the winner came from Dmytro Voznyi. We analysed the first leg separately.
In the league Tytan have one of the sharpest attacks: Dmytro Voznyi has scored six goals and Kostiantyn Beziazychnyi five. Both are among the tournament’s top eight scorers.
What shape Fortuna are in
For Bucha this was a third match in eight days. On 19 September they thrashed the Trubin Academy 9-0 in the Kyiv region Cup, and on Wednesday they got past Rokyta in the Ukrainian Cup only on penalties — after 120 minutes and three air-raid alerts.
In that game debutant Mykyta Dzen scored twice and Mykyta Makhynia struck in extra time. The club announced three new signings on the eve of the match.

Where to follow the game
The date and time for completing the match have not yet been announced. The recording of the 67 minutes played is in the player at the top of this article, and the key moments are in the “Match updates” section.
What comes next
On 7 October Fortuna and Tytan meet again — in the first leg of the Ukrainian Amateur Cup quarter-final, with the return on 14 October. There will be no draw: the bracket decided the tie, and in the 2027 semi-final the winner meets the winner of Budivelnyk/Real Farma v Olimpiia. So Saturday was also a scouting mission before the cup duel, even if unfinished. On 3–4 October Fortuna play the second leg of the Kyiv region Cup last 16 against the Anatolii Trubin Academy.
