The match between MFK Metalurh Zaporizhya and FC Metalist Kharkiv saw the visiting team secure a decisive 3-1 victory. Metalist Kharkiv's early goal in the 24th minute set the tone, reflecting their swift and aggressive start. Metalurh Zaporizhya, however, responded promptly with an equalizer just minutes later, demonstrating resilience. Yet, Metalist reclaimed the lead swiftly, striking again within three minutes, revealing Metalurh's defensive vulnerabilities.

Notably, Metalist Kharkiv's ability to capitalize on defensive errors was crucial. Although they failed to secure any corner kicks, their efficiency in front of goal was evident. Their third and final goal early in the second half effectively stifled any momentum the home side hoped to build. On the defensive end, despite conceding two yellow cards shortly after halftime, Metalist managed to maintain a disciplined structure that limited further scoring opportunities for Zaporizhya.

Metalurh Zaporizhya, although physically robust with 14 fouls and possession resulting in four corner kicks, struggled to convert this into clear scoring chances. The team's inclination towards an aggressive style was reflected in their two yellow cards. Ultimately, their midfield struggled to maintain coherence against Kharkiv's more coordinated unit. The visitors' cohesive teamwork and strategic substitutions further solidified their dominance, ensuring they left little room for a comeback from the hosts.
