In this tightly contested match between Vorskla Poltava and MFK Metalurh Zaporizhya, the away team managed a slender 1-0 victory. Despite Vorskla Poltava's impressive 13 corner kicks compared to Metalurh's 3, they failed to capitalize on these set-piece opportunities, which reflects a lack of effectiveness in their attacking conversion. This inability to convert set pieces into goals highlights a potential area for improvement in their offensive strategy.

MFK Metalurh Zaporizhya showcased commendable defensive resilience, holding Vorskla Poltava to zero goals despite facing substantial offensive pressure. The away team did concede 14 fouls and received four yellow cards, which indicates their aggressive playstyle to thwart Vorskla’s advances. Nonetheless, their ability to maintain discipline with no red cards and effectively manage the game tempo was key to their defensive success.

Both teams displayed slightly aggressive plays, with a combined total of 26 fouls and a high number of yellow cards. However, Metalurh's ability to score in the second half, just 51 seconds in, was a defining moment that shifted the match dynamics in their favor. The early second-half goal by Metalurh placed Vorskla on the back foot, unable to break through the tight-knit defensive setup despite their efforts with corners and strikes. This successful execution of a quick goal reflects Metalurh's strategic planning and adaptability, ultimately being the turning point of the match.
