The central matchup took place in Bila Tserkva, where the local club hosted the current national champion and last year's cup finalist — Kyiv's Dynamo. The match lived up to expectations: the battle lasted until the final seconds, but in a goal exchange, the visitors emerged victorious — 2:1.

The reigning trophy holder, Donetsk Shakhtar, started their campaign in Bucha against amateur Polissya (Stavki) from Kyiv Oblast. Despite the different status of the teams, the game was tense. The hosts held out until the end of the first half, but Arda Turan's charges eventually broke through — 1:0.

The real sensation occurred on Thursday, September 18. First League Bukovyna hosted Lviv Karpaty (1:0), eliminating a Premier League representative already in the Round of 32.

These matches included players from the national team. For Dynamo, Vladyslav Dubynchak, Mykola Shaparenko, and Nazar Volosin played, as well as Volodymyr Brazyko and Oleksandr Pichalonok (the scorer), who were in the reserve list of the national team. In Shakhtar's lineup, Valeri Bondar came on as a substitute in the 62nd minute.

Another eight Round of 32 matches will take place on September 23 and 24.
