Metalist 1925 Kharkiv vs Obolon'-Brovar - Premier League

Metalist 1925 Kharkiv turned this into a rout inside the opening quarter-hour, with Roman Volokhatyi's second yellow card in the 7th minute reducing Obolon'-Brovar to ten men and opening the floodgates. Peter Itodo converted the resulting penalty, then Carlos Paraco, Baton Zabergja and Illia Krupskyi all struck before the half-hour mark, before Itodo added a second right on the whistle to make it 5-0 at the break. The home side's dominance was total statistically too - 19 shots to 3, 83 dangerous attacks to 28 - and once the game was decided, the second half became a formality with both managers making wholesale substitutions and no further goals added. For Metalist this is a statement result that will boost confidence heading into their run of fixtures, while Obolon'-Brovar will need to shake off a demoralizing collapse that was effectively over by the 24th minute.
