Review

The match of the fourth round of the Ukrainian Premier League between Lviv "Rukh" and Luhansk "Zorya" brought an unexpected result and became a real triumph for the home team. After several away games, the Lviv team finally returned home, where their native fans were waiting for them. Despite the difficult calendar and the defeat in the previous round, "Rukh" managed to show quality football and won a convincing victory.

From the first minutes of the match, the hosts took the initiative into their own hands. "Rukh" immediately drove the opponents to their penalty area, creating dangerous moments. In the 14th minute, Lviv residents got a chance to open the scoring with a penalty shot by Didyk after a foul by Bašić. However, Ostap Prytula could not beat Zorya goalkeeper Turbaevskii, who deflected the shot into the lower right corner.

However, the failure with the penalty did not stop "Rukh". Just two minutes after that, in the 16th minute, Kvasnytsia made a wonderful pass to the center of the penalty box, where Karabin took off and sent the ball into the net, making the score 1:0. After that, the Lviv team slowed down a bit, which allowed "Zora" to start the game, but Yuriy Koval's team could not find its game in attack.

The second half started as unsuccessfully for "Zorya" as the first. In the 48th minute, after a corner kick, Runich, in the style of Carvajal, won the fight at the near post and doubled the advantage of "Rukh". The guests looked demoralized, while the Lviv team continued to keep control of the game.

In the 60th minute, "Rukh" scored the third goal, which effectively removed all questions about the winner. After a quick counterattack, Krasnopir threw the ball over Turbaevskii, bringing the score to 3:0. After that, the Lviv players calmly brought the match to victory, although in the last minutes of the game they received a small blow - the removal of Klyver for two yellow cards, which slightly spoiled the overall picture.

Rukh won convincingly 3-0, managing to dominate throughout the match and not allowing Zorya to create any serious threat in front of their goal. In the next round, "Rukh" will host "Ingulets", and "Zorya" will play against Kyiv "Obolon".
