Match Recap
Polessya held firm at the top of the Ukrainian Premier League table with a controlled 1-0 victory over Livyi Bereh, extending their dominant start to the season. S. Kosovskyi supplied the moment of quality in the 37th minute, a first-half strike that proved more than enough for a side that has now won four of their opening five league games and sits on 15 points at the summit. Livyi Bereh, still winless after five outings and rooted in 12th on just four points, could not muster a response, their recent run of four successive draws offering little threat against a Polessya side growing in confidence. With M. Ponomarenko leading the Premier League scoring charts on 15 goals, none of tonight's scorers gatecrashing the top ten only underlines how clinical Kosovskyi's winner was when it mattered. The goal itself, mid-first half, is as neat and decisive as this title-chasing team's form suggests, and it's worth every second of your time.
