Previous meeting
On September 27, Rukh U19 hosted Shakhtar U19 in Vynnyky. The sides started cautiously, with most of the play in midfield. In the 10th minute, Kanteh created a chance, and four minutes later, he assisted Smetana, who opened the scoring. Towards the end of the first half, the Miners added two more – a precise finish from Smetana and a converted penalty by Bundash. The second half saw many challenges and fouls, and in one instance the referee awarded a penalty to the hosts, which Zalypka converted. The Lviv side reduced the deficit after Serb’s goal, but Shakhtar U19 secured a 3-2 victory in the end.
