Polissya Zhytomyr•MidfielderPolissya Zhytomyr delivered a commanding away performance to secure a crucial 3-1 victory over LNZ Cherkasy, establishing early control through Oleksandr Andriyevskyi's fourth-minute opener and Lindon Emërllahu's well-taken strike on 33 minutes. Despite Mark Assinor's 73rd-minute goal briefly threatening a comeback for the hosts, substitute Mykola Gayduchyk sealed the points with a decisive finish just ten minutes after entering the fray. The result represents a significant boost for Polissya's campaign, with their clinical finishing and tactical discipline proving the difference against a Cherkasy side that showed fighting spirit but ultimately lacked the quality to overturn the deficit. Gayduchyk's immediate impact off the bench highlighted Polissya's squad depth, while the visitors' ability to weather Cherkasy's second-half pressure demonstrated the maturity that could define their season.
