Kudrovka and Obolon Kyiv played out a 0:0 draw at Avangard Stadium on Saturday in the third round of the Premier League's regular season. The result leaves both sides still searching for their first victory of the campaign.
By then, the match had already shifted shape after A. Dumanyuk collected his second yellow card in the fifty-fourth minute. He picked one up twenty-one minutes in, and the second came less than thirty minutes later. Kudrovka were down to ten men for the remainder of the fixture.
To be fair, the visitors had the better shooting accuracy despite the numerical disadvantage. Obolon registered four shots on target against Kudrovka's single effort, though neither side managed to find the net. The hosts did generate more attacks — 78 to 64 — and controlled possession at 54 per cent, but the chances went begging.
Kudrovka made five substitutions across the second half, bringing on D. Svityukha, T. Lyakh, T. Moroz, O. Belyaev, A. Shulyanskyi, Y. Smyrnyi, I. Petryak, and D. Myshnyov. Obolon responded with R. Owusu in the eighty-eighth minute. Three yellow cards were booked for the visitors alongside K. Prokopchuk and O. Serhiyovych Zhovtenko.
The scoreline keeps both clubs in the bottom half of the table. Kudrovka sit sixteenth with two points from five games, while Obolon are fourteenth on three. Neither side has found the back of the net with any regularity, and the goal difference reflects that struggle.
