Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Gavrylo Khursa made the kick off which started today's match.

Gavrylo Khursa fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 12th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Artem Bogdaniv having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Khmilnyk Spartak's Pavlo Kaznyukha got a free kick in the 19th minute. Ivano-Frankivsjk's Panas Zadoenko couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 20th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Khmilnyk Spartak. In the 25th minute of the match Olexiy Prykhodjko shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Vyacheslav Balioz showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Marjan Vovk sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After having played for 38 minutes, Arkhyp Kasyan managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.
