Today in the Hungarian city of Berettyóújfalu, Kyiv's HIT played as the nominal host in the first leg of the round-of-16 match of the 2025/2026 UEFA Champions League Indoor edition against Spanish Palm.

Coach Sergiy Zhurb’s team started poorly. As early as the 6th minute, Sharuто scored after a second attempt at an indirect free kick, directing the ball towards Oleksandr Sukhov's goal. However, four minutes later, Igor Chernyavsky broke through from the left flank and although the Spanish goalkeeper parried his shot, Artur Podliuk successfully converted the rebound. And by the 16th minute, Kyiv was ahead: Chernyavsky moved to the center from the left flank and scored a simple goal into the right corner — 2:1.

After halftime, the Spanish team attacked more often — and on the 37th minute earned a penalty kick, which Fabiño converted. Thus, in summary, it was a draw — 2:2.
