Probiy Horodenka 1–0 Ahrobiznes Volochysk
Ukrainian First League – 10 May 2026

Probiy Horodenka grabbed a vital three points in their bid to climb the Ukrainian First League table with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Ahrobiznes Volochysk on a tense Saturday evening at the Stadion imeni R. Brovarskoho. The solitary goal was enough to separate the sides in a contest that saw both teams produce plenty of effort but little cutting edge in the final third.

Match Overview

The home side started brightly, pressing Ahrobiznes from the first whistle. Midfielder Andriy Salyuk came closest in the opening 20 minutes, rattling the crossbar with a fierce drive from 25 yards. Ahrobiznes, however, grew into the game and created two clear chances before the interval, with striker Vitaliy Hryshyn heading straight at the goalkeeper from a corner.

Key Moment

The breakthrough arrived on 67 minutes. A well-worked move down the left flank saw left-back Ivan Lytvynenko deliver a low cross into the box. The ball was only half-cleared to the edge of the area, where midfielder Dmytro Bilonog controlled and lashed a left-footed shot into the bottom corner past the helpless Orest Budnyk. It was Bilonog’s third goal of the season and proved decisive.

Tactical Battle

Ahrobiznes pushed forward in the final 20 minutes, switching to a direct 4-4-2 shape in search of an equaliser. Probiy defended resolutely, with centre-backs Roman Mykulyak and Artem Fedorov clearing multiple crosses and long balls. The home side also threatened on the counter, with substitute striker Nazar Verbnyi forcing a sharp save from Budnyk in stoppage time.

Standout Performer

Probiy goalkeeper Maksym Savchenko earned the plaudits with a composed display. He made four saves, the most impressive being a point-blank block from Ahrobiznes substitute Yuriy Tkachuk in the 83rd minute to preserve the clean sheet.

Table Impact

The victory lifted Probiy Horodenka to ninth in the First League standings, now two points clear of the relegation zone. Ahrobiznes Volochysk remain in 12th place, just a point above the drop, leaving their survival hopes increasingly precarious with six matches remaining.
