  On Friday, October 2nd, 2009 FC Ukraine United-Svoboda played  their rescheduled game against  Serbian White Eagles.
  Both team were desperate for points in this game. Since the league took away 3-1 previous win for Ukraine in the first match, SWE got another chance to improve their record for a playoff spot. On the other hand, Ukraine needed points to avoid last place in the division.
   Like in previous game, Ukrainian side started this game only with one substitute due to too many injuries.
  SWE opened the scoring in the middle of the first half. Ukraine levelled in the second half, five minutes to the end by Grigoriy Kleyner.
1-1 - final score. Both teams lost valuable points.
Line-up: #1.N.Zemskov, #6.G.Kleyner, #2.Y.Hlyva(C), #11.D.Yanchuk, #14.K.Gromyko, #5.E.Ishchak, #3.D.Petruk, #5.E.Glezer,  #4.A.Malyshenkov, #8.E.Shevchenko, #9.E.Tsitsarin.

  On Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 FC Ukraine United-Svoboda played their nineteenth game in the season against  Peniche CC. Portuguese team was on the first place in the league before this game with lost points.
     Very hard work in the 75th minute helped Peniche CC force
 a 1-1 draw with  FC Ukraine United at Cherry Beach Stadium. Denys Petruk put one home in the 30th minute to account for Ukraine's opening goal.  
    The goal awakened a sense of urgency in PCC, who might have overly enjoyed the comforts of better possession up to that point. There was no question the Peniche came into the game desperate for points to improve their playoff standing. Portuguese side controlled the pace throughout the first half, and picked up where they'd left off in the second half, but Ukraine played smart and got increasingly involved in the game in the second half, waking up their attack and returning some pressure on the Peniche.
   Good effort by both teams, pretty even chances to score, better possession for Peniche.
   1-1 - final score, another meaningless point for Ukraine and two lost points for Peniche.
Line-up: #1.N.Zemskov, #6.G.Kleyner, #2.Y.Hlyva(C), #11.D.Yanchuk, #14.K.Gromyko, #5.E.Ishchak, #3.D.Petruk, #5.E.Glezer,  #4.A.Malyshenkov, #8.E.Shevchenko, #9.Z.Hamzaev.

   Next game for FC Ukraine United is on Friday, October 2nd @ Soccer Centre 1 against Serbian White Eagles.

   Aurora Hearts resumed their winning ways on Sunday night, grinding out a 1-0 victory against FC Ukraine United at Downsview Park Stadium. The match was scoreless until the 78th minute, when Aurora caught FCUU on the counterattack, scoring a goal on a breakaway.  Jason Oliveira sent his low shot to the right side of the Ukraine's net, beating United goalkeeper Nikita Zemskov.
   In the opening minutes of the game, Ukrainians had a perfect opportunity to open the score. Andrey Malychenkov beat Aurora's keeper on the breakaway, but hit the cross bar. On the other hand, visitors answered with few dangerous counterattacks. After that, both teams did not create much and mostly spent the whole time in the middle of the field. 0-0 after one.
   In the second half Ukrainians started really well. First, Mykola Voytsehovskiy missed another chance to score after hitting a post, when he found himself one on one with Aurora's goalkeeper. And few minutes later Evgen Ishchak missed the net after the same one on one meeting with AH goalie.
    With time winding down, Ukrainians became more tired that the opponent. Few FCUU players got injured by the end of the game and were substituted. Aurora started to look more dangerous. They had at least 3 good opportunities to score. And their effort was paid off at 78th minute, when they finally scored on the breakaway.
   Ukrainians had a good chance in the 87rd minute to get the equalizer, when Aurora's goaltender stopped a powerful shot from Oleg Bolshoy.
   1-0 final score for Aurora Hearts.

   On Sunday, June 14thth, 2009 FC Ukraine United-Svoboda played their second game in the season against Newmarket Athletics.
 
Goals from Sean Esterbauer and Mark Savella helped the Newmarket Athletics to get their first win in the season with a
2-1
win against FC Ukraine United-Svoboda at Centennial Stadium on Sunday evening.

  
Savella, Newmarket Athletics forward scored the deciding goal and gave the Athletics just their first win of the season when he collected a pass from FCUU defender in the 79th minute.
  
The Athletics opened the scoring in the tenth minute when an unmarked Sean Esterbauer headed home his goal on the brakeaway.
   NA's goalkeeper put on an inspirational display, repeatedly snuffing out Ukraine's attempts for a first-half equalizer while under sustained pressure from the hometown Blue and Yellow for much of the opening half.
FCUU's Mykola Voytsehovskiy and Denys Petruk missed 100% chances to level the score in the first half, while Newmarket were answering with very rare but dangerous counterattacks.
  
United again applied the pressure in the opening minutes of the second half. Then, in the 71st minute, the home team were finally rewarded for their efforts with a goal by Burim Konjuhi resulting from a wild goalmouth scramble.
  
Ukrainians pressed more after the tying goal. Efim Shevchenko missed perfect opportunity to score another goal for FCUU after missing the net from 5 meters range.
   And then was a disaster... Eleven minutes from time, two FCUU central defenders were making unnecessary passes near their box, while NA's forward
Mark Savella stole the ball and score the winner...
  
Unfortunate first defeat in the season for Ukrainian side...

   On Sunday, June 7thth, 2009 FC Ukraine United played their first official OSL game in the season against team Arsenal from Northern town Alliston.
   Alliston Arsenal
took an early lead thanks to a remarkable goal from Chris Graham, but FC Ukraine United stormed back with goals from Mykola Voytsehovskiy, Burim Konjuhi and Zafar Hamzaev for a 3-1 victory Sunday night at Centennial Stadium in the OSL season opener for Ukrainian side.

   In the ninth minute, Graham open the scoring in this game. The AA striker saw Ukraine's goalkeeper Nikita Zemskov off his line and decided to take a shot. Zemskov quickly backpedaled but was a step late as Graham's shot floated into the right side of the net for the goal.
   Despite the early goal, the FCUU began to control the run of play for much of the first half and spent much of the opening half in AA's third of the field.
   The Men in Blue & Yellow drew level in the 34th minute thanks to Mykola Voytsehovskiy. After tapping the ball back a step with his right foot, Denys Yanchuk slotted a pass to Voytsehovskiy, who was just inside the right side of the AA box. Voytsehovskiy's shot from 16 yards out went past AA goalkeeper and the match was deadlocked.
   United gained their first lead of the evening twenty minutes after halftime, when Burim Konjuhi was first on the ball after defender's and goalkeeper's huge mistake in their own box.
   Few minutes later, Zafar Hamzaev opened his account in the 75th minute. After some crafty footwork from strike partner Denys Petruk to keep the possession alive, the ball made it to Kirill Gromyko at the top of the box, who kept the ball moving to Hamzaev. After a calm touch, Hamzaev's targeted low drive beat Alliston Arsenal goalkeeper at his far post!
   At the 80th minute mark, FCUU goaltender Nikita Zemskov made super save during the breakaway and was sent off for playing with the hands
just outside of the box.
  
With the game secure, the capacity crowd started to cheer for the home side again. In all, it was a dominating performance in the club's first match in the new 2009 season!

On Friday, October 17th, 2008 FC Ukraine United played their last game in the season against one of the best teams in Ontario Real Toronto in the George Finnie Cup Final.
   Julio Garcia scored a header in the stoppage time to give Real Toronto late 2-1 victory against FC Ukraine United at Ontario Soccer Centre Stadium.
  The game's first scoring threat came in the fifteenth minute when Real's defender stole the ball in the back then dribbled the ball up to about 20 yards out before releasing the ball to RT forward Garcia. Garcia's shot was saved by United goalkeeper Nikita Zemskov.
   Ukrainians answered back right the way. Mykola Voytsehovskiy missed two 100% chances to score in the middle of the half.
   Minutes later, RT midfielder Hayden Fitzwilliams opened the scoring in the 33rd minute at the end of a lengthy Real possession in which they sent the ball back and forth just outside the penalty area until it ended up on the left side. Fitzwilliams sent a clear shot past Zemskov for a 1-0 lead.
   The second half was much more wide open, both teams were creating more chances to score.
   Finnaly FCUU had their way in the 66th minute, again enjoying unfettered possession in the middle of the Real's half. Eventually the ball ended up on the foot of Evgeniy Ishchak, and he blasted the shot from a tough angle deep on the right side to the far lower corner for a 1-1 tie.
   United then had another good opportunity of their own to take the lead, when Burim Konjuhi hit the cross bar just minutes later after a tying goal.
   Both teams enjoyed few more decent opportunities for the remainder of the game. 
   FCUU defender Yuriy Hlyva had been booked for the first time for a foul on RT forward in the 92nd minute just outside of the penalty area on the right side. Free kick for Real and perfect header by Garcia...Disappointing 2-1 loss in the stoppage time for FC Ukraine United.

  Ukrainian side continued to counterattack and found its third goal in inside the first quarter of the second half. Andrey Malyshenkov curled his third goal of the season in the back of the net from a corner kick. 
   In the 62nd minute, one of Bosnian forwards had a chance to pull one back but Nikita Zemskov made a nice stop at his shot. Ten minutes prior, the FCUU 'keeper made another solid save on an effort by FKB player.

FCUU picked apart the defense of the Scarborough Rangers early and often on its way to a convincing 7-2 victory on Thursday evening at their home field at Soccer Centre Stadium.
    It marked the second consecutive win for the FCUU side in this year's Cup competition and assured them of moving onto a semifinal game sometime in August against the winner of Weston SC - FK Bosna.
    It wasn’t long before Ukrainian side did open the scoring, however, as Vladimir Koval scored to put the United on top,   1-0, in the 8th minute.

    FCUU wasted no time getting its third goal of the game when Vladimir Koval scored literally minutes later his second goal in the game. 3-0 after one.
    Vladimir Koval put the result beyond all doubt just five minutes into second half. Koval finally completed his triple after another spectacular cross from Burim Konjuhi. 4-0
    Trailing by four goals, the visitors began to push forward in the second half and finally scored one goal back from a free kick. 4-1
    Just minutes later, Burim Konjuhi found himself one on one with the Rangers goaltender and made no mistake by flipping the ball over him into the back of the net. 5-1
   But it didn't take long for FCUU to add to their advantage. In the 72nd minute, Voytsehovskiy's shot was driven powerfully into the left lower corner as Rangers goalkeeper fell to his left and the United were up 6-1.
   The visitors scored ones again, after FCUU goaltender Nikita Zemskov made a terrible mistake by loosing the ball in his penalty area trying to dribble two SR forwards. 6-2
    Two minutes before the whistle, Yuriy Hlyva had an easy pass to Yuriy Khatchaturov in front of SR's goalkeeper and Khatchaturov tapped home his first goal of the season.

United had a solid spell possession, but the opponent opened scoring first at 60th minute from the penalty spot. Ukrainians, meanwhile, kept threatening and creating chances when none seemed possible. Zafar Hamzaev came close to scoring after hitting a crossbar in 72 minute.

FC Ukraine United continued their dominance in the Ontario Soccer League with 1:0 away win against the Real Toronto on Wednesday, June 18th at Ontario Soccer Centre Stadium. 
   It was FC Ukraine United, however, who had the best chance in the opening stages. In the sixteenth minute, Burim Konjuhi had a breakaway, fortunately for the Real, control him they did, as Konjuhi often found himself swarmed and stripped of the ball before he could pass to a teammate Mykola Voytsehovskiy. Real Toronto kept United honest on defense and nearly caught the Ukrainians on the counterattack. In the 33rd minute, FCUU defender Olexander Kaplun collided with Real's Kedian Lecky in a hard tackle that left Lecky lying on his back in the penalty area. It's a penalty kick and yellow card for Kaplun... Fortunally for Ukrainians, goalkeeper Nikita Zemskov superbly saved the opponent's penalty. 0:0 - after one.

   Real came out with more attacking vigor after the break, collecting two shots in the first 10 minutes of the half. In the 55 minute, Olexander Kaplun got his second yellow card after a dangerous tackle from behind. Ukrainians left with ten men. It was FCUU, however, that next found the back of the net. In one of the counterattacks, Mykola Voytsehovskiy gave a perfect pass to Zafar Hamzaev, while Real's defense didn't close him down, allowing the midfielder to reach the edge of the penalty area, and he launched a low, hard shot that eluded the opponent's goalkeeper and found the back of the net. 1:0 for FC Ukraine United! 
   After controlling the pace of play for much of the half, the deflated Real seemed powerless against a United defense.
  
1:0 - final score!  FC Ukraine United won their third straight game and remain on the first place in the league!

On June 7th, 2008 FC Ukraine United played their first game in Ontario George Finnie Cup against Westshore. Last year, these two teams played against each other also in the same competition. That time, FC Ukraine United had an easy win 5:1.This year's  competition, Westshore had completely different and new stronger team.
   Right from the beginning of the game, Ukrainians came out attacking and nearly scored just 15 minutes into the match. Vladimir Koval was pushed down in the penalty area and was rewarded a penalty shot. Unfortunally, he missed the net by a couple inches. Ten minutes later, Evgen Ishchak finally opened the scoring after a beautiful shot from 25 meters into the right top corner! 1:0.
   In the second half the number of chances increased for both teams. FC UU attacking persistence paid off again in the 60th minute, when Mykola Voytsehovskiy gave a perfect pass to Vladimir Koval, who made no mistake on the breakaway! 2:0

Ukrainians kept pressuring the opponent. United could have increased their lead after Westshore's defender pushed down Vladimir Koval from behind into the left side of the penalty area. Unfortunally, ref's whistle was silent this time. In the middle of the half, the opponent got one goal back.2:1 Few minutes later, Ukrainians increased their lead up to two goals again. After the UU completed a series of sharp passes to bring the ball into the Westshore's penalty area, it was Mykola Voytsehovskiy who found the last touch and struck the ball home! 3:1 However, few minutes before the end, the opponent scored one more goal after a corner kick. That was all for this game.
  
3:2 - final score! FC Ukraine United qualified to the next round  of the Ontario George Finnie Cup and will meet Scarborough Rangers in the quarterfinal some time in June.

On June 1st, Ukraine United had its second game of the season and its home opener. This game was perhaps one of the most bizarre games one could watch. Ukraine United were facing a significantly weaker side in Magic AC. Ukraine United was off to a strong with a goal by Evgeny Ishchak off a free kick. This was followed by a few more chances. In the first 20 minutes it seemed like Ukraine United had control of the game and it was going to be one sided affair however they were shocked when Magic AC scored a goal in the 25th minute. The Ukrainians were shaken by this and their play deteriorated. It wasn't long until Magic AC scored their second goal to make it 2-1 after a mistake in defense. In the second half things went from bad to worse for Ukraine United as, Magic AC scored another 3 goals!!! The Ukrainians were down 5-1 with 20 minutes to go. It was looking like the most humiliating defeat which the club has ever suffered. However with 18 minutes to go Ukrainians cut the lead by 1 with a goal by Yuri Hlyva. This seemed to rally the team and more opportunities seemed to follow. Minutes later the lead was again cut by 1 with a goal by Evgeny Ishchak. Now the score was 5-3. Ukraine United continues to put on the pressure and it wasnt long until they scored again on a breakaway by Burim Konjuhi. The Ukrainians were only 1 goal away from a miraculous comeback and this was completed by another breakaway goal from Burim Konjuhi. The game was now 5-5 but there was still 2 minutes remaining. A last attack by Ukraine United resulted in another breakaway for Burim Konjuhi and he made the most of this opportunity and put Ukraine United ahead 6-5.!!!!!! What a Thrilling game!!

On May 28th, 2008, 9 pm at the Centennial Stadium. FC Ukraine United faced off against a strong opponents FK Bosna Toronto.

This first game was a thrilling affair with over 400 fans in attendance. FC Ukraine United was off to a great start controlling most of the play and dominating the Bosnians, and it was not long until Kirill Gromyko who is fresh off an injury scored a beautiful goal from the left flank. His hard work and persistence paid off.

Ukraine United didn't stop the pressure and continued to push forward. In the 25th minute Evgeny Ishchak hit the cross bar from a wonderful placed free kick. There was a sense that another goal was coming and it did just minutes later with a nice play which was started by Kiril Gromyko and finished off by Andrei Malychenkov. There was a late scare for the Ukrainians as a well stung attack FK Bosna resulted in Nikita Zemskov making a fine save to keep the game out of the Bosnians reach. The Ukrainians were leading 2-0 going into half time. Second half the Bosnian's came out strong and early in the half they were awarded a horrible penalty kick. But fortunately the Bosnians don't kick the ball very well and the penalty kick went well over the bar. FC Ukraine United sat back and shut down the Bosnians relentless attack, and played counter attack football. This style of play paid off as a nice cross by Evegny Ishchak resulted in a Bosian player to head the ball into his own net.(3-0). Only 10 minutes later another wonderful run by player of the game Kirill Gromyko resulted in a beautiful cross to Burim Konjuhi who headed the ball home.
