Prykarpattya secured a 2-1 victory over Polissya II in the First League's Regular Season round 5 on Friday evening. The away side took the lead through V. Tsyutsyura's 58th-minute strike before B. Panchyshyn sealed the three points with a late 90+1st-minute goal. Polissya II pulled one back through V. Frantsuz in the 51st minute but could not find an equaliser.
The visitors arrived with slightly better form, sitting fifth with seven points from five matches. Polissya II, meanwhile, languished 15th on just two points after two draws and three defeats. The defeat extends the home side's winless run to five games, while Prykarpattya moved closer to the top half of the table.
The second half proved decisive. Frantsuz gave the hosts hope in the 51st minute, but Tsyutsyura responded swiftly to restore the visitors' advantage. Panchyshyn's late effort effectively ended any lingering chances for a comeback from the home side.
Polissya II's recent record shows a pattern of narrow results—two 2-2 draws and losses to stronger opposition. Prykarpattya's form has been more mixed, with a heavy 4-1 win over Reshetilovka contrasting with defeats to Kulikov and Kolos-2.
The result leaves Polissya II still searching for their first victory of the campaign. Prykarpattya's seven points after half the season suggests they will push for a higher finish than their current fifth-place position indicates.
