In a match of the 4th round of the Ukrainian Premier League, the team from Kamianets-Podilskyi, Epicenter, played an away game against one of the tournament's bottom sides — Kudrovka — and secured a comfortable 3-0 victory. The contest offered little drama: the visitors took control from the first half and pushed the score to a large margin, which allowed them to consolidate their position in the upper part of the standings.
Match flow and goal scorers
The first goal in this encounter came in the 36th minute — Vadym Sydyun struck to put Epicenter ahead. After the break, the team managed by coach Serhiy Nahorniak continued to control the game on the pitch and kept building their advantage. In the 75th minute Sydyun completed his brace, and just three minutes later Carlos Rojas put the seal on the match, converting the third goal and confirming the final 3-0 scoreline in the visitors' favor.
First match without Joaquin Sifuentes
The squad context of the match deserves separate attention: this game marked Epicenter's first outing after the departure of team leader Joaquin Sifuentes, who will continue his career at Karpaty. Despite losing a key player, Nahorniak's side showed clinical finishing and team play, managing to compensate for his absence and deliver a thrashing win.
Standings positions
Thanks to this victory, Epicenter collected 7 points from four matches and temporarily climbed to third place in the UPL table. Kudrovka, meanwhile, has just 2 points after four rounds and sits in 13th place, confirming the team's status as one of the current championship's bottom sides.
Upcoming matches
Epicenter's next game will be played at home in Kamianets-Podilskyi: on September 6 at 13:00 their opponent will be Bukovyna. Kudrovka will face Polissya in the 5th round of the UPL — the match will take place in Zhytomyr on September 4, kicking off at 18:00. Both fixtures will give the teams a chance either to consolidate or to reverse their current momentum in the championship.
