In the same season, the hosts were stronger in the First League (2-1), and in the UPL, the team from the Kyiv region secured two clean victories (1-0 and 2-0). According to Transfermarkt, the club earned four hundred thousand euros from the sale of the Volyn goalkeeper to Dnipro-1. Luchkevych came in the opposite direction.

Earlier, the team from Kovalivka strengthened their roster with experienced players such as Burda, Tsurykov, Oleksandr Demchenko, and Valeriy Bondarenko. The Kolos — Veres battle can be watched online.

The President of Veres, Nadein, stated that Hennadiy Pasich's agent paid compensation for his transfer to LNZ, where the athlete was offered better conditions. The official is also outraged that the Ministry of Sports is not working on the return of fans to the stands, even in limited numbers. According to him, the folk club became the most attended in the UPL last season, as the matches were attended by shareholders.

He added that the decision to have or not have fans in the stadium should be made individually, as local officials are better aware of safety measures. The Kolos - Veres confrontation can be watched online.

The event is also available in PPV format.
