Outstanding performance
Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih•GoalkeeperChornomorets controlled proceedings territorially in the first half but couldn't find a breakthrough, with the match crawling through a scoreless, low-drama opening 45 minutes. The visitors actually matched their hosts on shots and dominated the corner count 5-1, along with edging dangerous attacks 66-56, suggesting Kryvbas were far from passive despite conceding. It was a flurry of second-half substitutions from Chornomorets - six changes in total - that eventually shifted momentum, with fresh legs paying off when substitute Vitaliy Faraseyenko struck in the 77th minute off a Kiril Popov assist following back-to-back corners. The win nudges Chornomorets further up the table amid their title-race ambitions, while Kryvbas will rue their wastefulness in front of goal, failing to register a single shot on target despite generating plenty of pressure.
