Dobrodiy Medununiversity Women secured a 2-0 victory over hosts Rys-dussh in the Superleague on Saturday. The result keeps the visitors climbing while the hosts remain winless after three matches. To be fair, the away side had already shown they could compete before this weekend.
The standings tell a straightforward story. Dobrodiy Medununiversity sit third with six points from their opening three games. Rys-dussh are seventh, sitting on zero points with three defeats and nothing to show for their efforts. By then, the gap between them was widening rather than closing.
Rys-dussh came into this fixture with a fragile confidence. They lost 0-3 to Balt Women in back-to-back matches last month, and before that fell 0-3 to Bukovynka Women. Extended their unbeaten run to eight — well, they haven't had one to extend, but you see what I mean. The home side cannot afford another slip if they want to avoid relegation trouble.
Dobrodiy Medununiversity have mixed results but showed resilience. They dropped points 0-3 away at Truskavets Women on Friday, but bounced back with a 3-0 win over the same opponents on Thursday. Earlier in the season they beat Polissya Zhytomyr Women 3-1 and 3-0, though they also lost 0-3 to them away. Got his substitutions spot on — or at least got the results they needed.
This victory puts Dobrodiy Medununiversity in pole position for a top-four finish. Three points from three games would have been ideal, but two wins and one loss gives them room to manoeuvre. The home side, meanwhile, face a difficult run if they want to salvage anything from their campaign.
