"Zorya" clinched a victory against

"Zorya" clinched a victory against "Karpaty" in today's Ukrainian Championship match, thanks to Petar Michin's two goals in the second half.

Serbian player Petar Michin emerged as a pivotal figure in the clash between "Zorya" and "Karpaty" during the 15th round of the Ukrainian Championship. Mladen Bartulovic's team managed to recover from early setbacks to claim all three points against Vladislav Lupashko's squad. Prior to this face-off, "Karpaty" had been showing better performance and held a higher position in the standings.

However, in this particular match, "Zorya" exhibited a stronger desire to win. The element of chance shouldn't be overlooked either. Lviv players missed two golden opportunities: Ocheretko failed to beat the goalkeeper one-on-one, and Ustimenko missed from three meters away from "Zorya"'s goal.

In contrast, Petar Michin was precise, even when navigating through a defense of multiple opponents. His second goal was decisive in this match. After the game, "Zorya" caught up with "Rukh" and "Veres" in the standings but failed to rise above 9th place due to additional criteria. Meanwhile, "Karpaty" missed the opportunity to surpass "Polissya" and secure fifth place.
