• The match of the last round of the UPL between Chornomorets and Oleksandriya did not solve anything: Odesa had already been eliminated, and the guests guaranteed themselves silver medals ahead of schedule. In this almost friendly match, neither team scored a goal. It was the second match to which fans were allowed in Odesa. It is not yet known whether the stands will be open for the next season in the First League. The team's head coach, Oleksandr Kucher, is likely to stay in Odesa and try to do what his predecessors failed to do - win the Ukrainian First League.
