Polissya Zhytomyr secured an impressive 3-0 home victory over Paks in the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League qualifier on August 8, 2025. The Ukrainian side put one foot in the next round with a comprehensive performance. Playing in front of their home supporters, Polissya took control early and scored a well-worked opener. They doubled their lead before halftime from a set-piece situation. The third goal, coming early in the second half, put the result beyond any doubt. Paks from Hungary struggled to cope with the intensity and pace of the Ukrainian team and failed to register a meaningful shot on target. This commanding lead gives Polissya enormous confidence for the return leg.
