Niva Ternopil II beat Ruk Vinnyky 1-0 in the sixth round of the Druha Liha regular season on Monday. The match took place on 14 September 2026 and ended with a single goal. It was a tight affair where one moment mattered more than the rest.
The decisive strike came in the 69th minute when V. Romaniuk found the net. By then the game had settled into a rhythm neither side could break. And here's the thing — it was the only chance that counted.
Niva Ternopil II sit second in the table after three games. They have two wins and one loss, collecting six points so far. Their recent results show inconsistency: a 1-4 defeat to Niva Vinnytsia, then a narrow 0-1 loss to Skala 1911 Stryi. Before that they dropped four points against Bratislav Vinnytsia.
Ruk Vinnyky are fifth after just two matches. One win and one loss gives them three points. Their form has been uneven — a 0-1 loss to Skala 1911 followed by a 1-2 defeat to Dnister Zalechychi. They did manage a 2-2 draw with Niva Vinnytsia earlier.
The result keeps Niva Ternopil II above Ruk Vinnyky in the standings. The gap between them is now three points after this match. For the hosts it means staying in touch with the leaders, while the visitors face more work to climb.
