The local 'Epitsentr' marked this event with a confident victory over Kyiv's 'Obolon' with a score of 3:0, giving fans a real celebration. ### Atmosphere of support for foreign players A special spirit of unity reigned in the stands. Alongside Ukrainian flags, Spanish and Albanian banners fluttered β€” a symbol of support for the numerous foreign players representing the Podilskyi club. This detail highlights the international nature of the team and the fans' dedication to their players. ### Match progression: from equal struggle to a rout The first half of the game was an even contest with several dangerous moments. However, the hosts suffered an unfortunate loss: in the 39th minute, defender Valeriy Luchkevych left the field early due to a thigh injury. The turning point came in the second half: - **59th minute:** Spanish foreign player of 'Epitsentr', Joaquin Sifuentes, accurately converted a penalty, etching his name in history as the author of the first UPL goal in Kamianets-Podilskyi. - **67th minute:** Following a textbook counter-attack, where Vadym Sydun delivered a precise cross, Mykola Myronyuk doubled the hosts' advantage with a one-touch finish. - **78th minute:** The team's newcomer, Spaniard Nene, earned a second penalty for a handball by the opponent. Sifuentes completed his brace with a precise strike, sealing the victory. ### Final note In the last 10 minutes of the match, 'Obolon' was forced to play with a man down due to an injury to Dmytro Kapinus, as all of Kyiv's substitutions had already been used. 'Epitsentr' could have scored a fourth goal but settled for three, securing their first three points of the season. It is worth noting that in another match of the round, 'Polissya' defeated 'Chornomorets' in Odesa in a game featuring spectacular goals.
