The goalless draw against Lviv’s Rukh ensured that Rivne’s Veres maintained their place in the Ukrainian Premier League for the next season. In the final three rounds of the championship, the red-and-blacks became unreachable for Poltava, Oleksandriia, and Rukh. Rivne will prevail over Kudrivka based on the results of their head-to-head encounters with an equal number of points.

Considering the match against Kryvbas, which will take place next Tuesday, Rivne’s Veres demonstrated a pragmatic and rational approach in Lviv. The team defended confidently and had a great opportunity to take the lead before the break. Fabrizio Yan intercepted the ball, went one-on-one with Rukh’s goalkeeper, outplayed Yegor Klymenko, but lost his balance and failed to shoot into the almost empty net.
After the break, Rukh was forced to attack more, as the tournament situation required it. However, the hosts created only one more or less real chance – Samba Diallo, after a pass from Ihor Neves, fired at Andriy Kozhukhar from ten meters and miraculously missed the goal!
