Ruh Lviv
Ruh Lviv set up in a 4-1-4-1 formation, focusing on defensive solidity and midfield control. For much of the game, they struggled to break down a disciplined Kolos defense and found clear-cut chances hard to come by. However, their persistence paid off in stoppage time when they grabbed a dramatic equalizer, demonstrating resilience and fighting spirit. The hosts were disciplined but at times lacked attacking thrust. Two yellow cards reflected their combative approach, but it was their late surge that ultimately saved the day.

Kolos Kovalivka
Kolos Kovalivka, lining up in a 4-3-3, looked the more adventurous side in the closing stages and were rewarded with an 86th-minute goal. Their midfield trio worked hard to control the tempo, and their backline largely kept Ruh at bay until the final moments. Despite taking the lead late, Kolos will be disappointed not to have seen out the win, conceding in stoppage time after a lapse in concentration. Their single yellow card showed a controlled aggression, but they ultimately paid the price for not maintaining focus to the final whistle.

Tactical Analysis
Ruh Lviv's 4-1-4-1 formation prioritized midfield stability, with Samba Diallo acting as a key link between defense and attack. Their wide midfielders tried to stretch Kolos but often found space limited. Kolos Kovalivka's 4-3-3 provided width and allowed them to push forward in numbers late on, especially after the introduction of fresh legs from the bench. Both sides were cautious for long stretches, focusing on defensive organization and waiting for mistakes. Set pieces and transitions became increasingly important as the match wore on, with both goals coming from moments of quick attacking play rather than sustained pressure.
