- There were other cool goalkeeping performances in this round. However, in terms of importance, there was no stronger individual benefit than that of Makhankov. The goalkeeper from the "Dynamo" school lost the competition to Klischuk, but he took advantage of the given chance. In the capital, he drew shots from the game of Slobodyan and Hrys, and also parried a penalty from the full-time performer of 11-meters in "Obolon" - the same Slobodyan. As for the minimum victory, this is the goalkeeper's top contribution to the away success of "Kryvbas", - about the Makhankov Sport Arena game.
- The Cameroonian returned to the field after injury and traditionally covered his entire left flank. In the match against Kyiv "Obolon" Dibango did a lot of running work and did not shy away from physical combat. In addition, Ivan completed the pre-goal pass for Tverdokhlib's goal, - about the Dibango UA-football game.
