Obolon'-Brovar vs Kolos Kovalivka II

Obolon' took control inside the opening seven minutes. Denys Ustymenko opened the scoring early, converting from close range after a flowing move that cut through the Kolos-2 defence.

The Ukrainian Premier League side doubled their lead in the 24th minute. Serhiy Sukhanov found the net with a composed finish, making it 2-0 — a scoreline that held until half-time.

Ustymenko completed his brace in the 59th minute, collecting his second goal of the afternoon to put Obolon' 3-0 ahead. The striker, a product of Obolon's youth system, showed sharp movement throughout the contest.

Kolos Kovalivka II pulled one back through a trialist — a player on trial with the club — who scored a consolation goal in the second half. The match was played in a four-period format (4 × 30 minutes), standard for pre-season training camps.

Ustymenko's 7th-minute opener. The early goal forced Kolos-2 — a side preparing for their debut First League campaign — out of their defensive shape and into a chase they were not set up for. Obolon' capitalised on the space that opened up, with Sukhanov doubling the lead before the half-hour mark. The game was effectively settled inside 24 minutes.

Denys Ustymenko (Obolon') — Player of the Match. Two well-taken goals (7', 59') showed the 25-year-old striker's finishing instincts in the box. He led the line effectively and linked play between Obolon's midfield and attack.

Serhiy Sukhanov (Obolon') — Scored the second goal (24') and provided a constant threat down the left flank. His movement stretched the Kolos-2 defence, creating space for Ustymenko.

Kolos-2 Trialist — The unnamed trialist scored the visitors' only goal and was one of the few Kolos-2 players to test the Obolon' backline consistently. He is understood to be on trial with the club ahead of their debut First League season.

The 3-1 scoreline reflects a clear gap in quality between a settled UPL side and a second team assembling for their first season at professional level. Obolon' had the game wrapped up inside 24 minutes with two goals from open play. Kolos-2's consolation came from a trialist, underlining the experimental nature of their line-up. The match was played as a training-ground fixture with four periods rather than the traditional 90-minute format, limiting the value of conventional possession or shot stats.

Obolon' continue their pre-season preparations for the 2026/27 Ukrainian Premier League campaign. The Kyiv-based side, known as the "brewers" (pyvovari), have been active in the transfer market — finalising a season-long loan for Dynamo Kyiv winger Andriy Matkevych on 17 July. They also hosted a trial for cup finalist Dzilindo Bezgubchenko, who ultimately did not impress coaches enough to earn a contract, per Sport.ua.

For Kolos Kovalivka II, this was a valuable runout against top-flight opposition. The reserve side of Kolos Kovalivka are set to debut in the Ukrainian First League, which kicks off on 24 July 2026. They had lost 2-0 to Kudrivka in a previous friendly on 15 July and will be looking to sharpen up before their competitive debut.

A straightforward pre-season workout for Obolon', who did what was expected against a younger, less-experienced second side. Ustymenko's double was the standout individual contribution, but the broader story is Kolos-2's preparation for a step into professional football — a transition that will demand more defensive solidity than they showed here.
