In a goalless draw between Metalist 1925 Kharkiv and FC Obolon Kyiv, the match on August 4th showed distinct tactical approaches but resulted in an evenly balanced outcome. Metalist 1925 Kharkiv had an edge in offensive set-pieces, securing five corner kicks compared to FC Obolon Kyiv's single corner. Despite having more opportunities from corners, Metalist couldn't capitalize on them, indicating inefficacy in their set-piece execution and delivery.

Defensively, both teams stood their ground, with neither side conceding goals. However, discipline was a notable issue for both teams, with FC Obolon Kyiv collecting two yellow cards and Metalist 1925 receiving one. The yellow cards for FC Obolon Kyiv, particularly coming in the second half, could have disrupted their momentum and aggression but didn't result in a numerical disadvantage, as both teams maintained all their players on the field.

Teamwork and balance were clear, as neither team was able to outmaneuver the other in open play significantly. The lack of goals suggests that while both teams were disciplined defensively, they struggled to convert their attacking plays into substantial chances. The effectiveness of each team's transitional play and final third execution was notably lacking, contributing to the stalemate. Overall, while Metalist 1925 may regret not taking advantage of their set-piece opportunities, FC Obolon Kyiv's resilience in defense kept the hosts from breaking the deadlock.
