The seventh round of the Ukrainian Premier League delivered a dramatic finish in Odesa. In a match between Chornomorets and Obolon, the final whistle confirmed a 1:1 draw, but the highlight of the encounter was an extraordinary intervention by the Kyiv side's goalkeeper.
The climax of the match arrived deep into stoppage time. In the 92nd minute, following a corner kick delivered by Sukhanov, Nazariy Fedorivskyi surprisingly abandoned his goal to join the attack. The goalkeeper rose highest to head the ball into the net, snatching a crucial point for his team in the final seconds.
This goal marks a rare milestone in the Ukrainian league. Fedorivskyi is only the second goalkeeper in the history of the UPL to score a goal from open play. The only previous occurrence was in 2010, when Yevhen Borovyk achieved the feat while playing for Kryvbas against Arsenal.
