Pivotal
Karpaty
Kolos Kovalivka
Kolos Kovalivka secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Karpaty in a match that turned on discipline and tactical adjustments. The visitors controlled the tempo in the opening half despite some early pressure from the hosts, with both sides receiving yellow cards in a heated 42nd minute exchange. Anton Salabay's 62nd-minute strike proved decisive, coming just after Kolos introduced fresh legs through Edson Fernando's substitution. Karpaty's chances of salvaging a result evaporated when Mykyta Burda received his second yellow card with ten minutes remaining, forcing them to chase the game with ten men. The result lifts Kolos further up the table while leaving Karpaty to reflect on costly defensive lapses and poor discipline.
