In the matches of the 18th round, apart from the "Obolon" vs "Dynamo" game, the result that surprised, if not shocked, was that of "Borysfen". In Donetsk, the team from Boryspil, which is languishing at the bottom of the standings, defeated the third team of the national championship - "Metalurh" - with a score of 3:1. For "Borysfen" this victory was the first in the current championship.

Finally, Odesa's "Chornomorets" also got its victory, defeating "Arsenal" at home, for whom this defeat was the third in a row. "Volyn" also continued its winning tradition in home matches, defeating "Kryvbas" with a score of 3:1.

It is worth noting "Metalist"'s first points under Zavarov's leadership, whose team drew in Mariupol with "Illichivets" - 1:1.

After two consecutive victories, Poltava's "Vorskla-Naftohaz" also surprised unpleasantly, being crushed in Simferopol by "Tavriya" - 4:0.
