Livy Bereg saw off Dnister Zaleshchiky 3-0 in the Round of 64 of the Cup on Friday evening. The away side scored early and never looked back, with A. Yakymiv, V. Voloshyn and D. Shastal adding to the tally before the final whistle.
Yakymiv opened the scoring in the seventh minute, a quick strike that caught Dnister off-guard. By then the home side looked rattled, and Voloshyn doubled the advantage just seven minutes later. The visitors took control of the tie and never let go.
And here's the thing about the way Livy Bereg moved through the game — they didn't need to chase. Dnister had come off a 3-1 victory over Skala 1911 Stryi, but that form evaporated against a side that knew exactly what they wanted. The hosts were reduced to watching from behind.
Shastal rounded off the scoring in the 90+4th minute, a late flourish that left little doubt about the quality gap. Livy Bereg had been solid in their recent outings — a 1-1 draw with Hornyak, a goalless stalemate against Kudrivka, and a 2-1 win over Metalist 1925 Kharkiv — but this was a different level entirely.
The result sends Livy Bereg into the next round with momentum. Dnister will need to regroup quickly, especially after that 0-1 defeat to Niva Ternopil II had dented their confidence before the win over Skala. To be fair, one match doesn't define a season, but the pattern was clear enough.
