LNZ loses to Chernomorets in their debut UPL match
Chornomorets played against Cherkasy LNZ, which made its debut in the UPL, and showed that Oleksandr Kovpak's wasn't yet ready for the upper tier of Ukrainian football. This can be explained, among other things, by large roster changes - a lot of players with UPL experience have come to the LNZ, but it takes time to create a new team.
