Chornomorets II vs Penuel Match Recap - Nov 3, 2025

In a thrilling encounter at SK Lyustdorf, Chornomorets II and Penuel battled to a 2-2 draw on November 3, 2025. This match marked the sixteenth round of the Druha Liga regular season and was crucial for both teams as they sought to improve their standings in a tightly contested league.

The game kicked off with an early flourish from Chornomorets II, who struck first in the 11th minute. An unknown player found the back of the net, giving Chornomorets II a promising lead that seemed to set the tone for their performance. However, Penuel responded with determination. Just before halftime, in the 40th minute, they equalized through an unknown scorer, leveling the match at one goal apiece.

As if scripted for drama, Penuel took control immediately after the break. In the 46th minute, they scored again-another unknown player capitalizing on a moment of defensive lapse from Chornomorets II. Suddenly trailing 2-1, Chornomorets II faced mounting pressure but showed resilience. They fought back and managed to find an equalizer in the 70th minute when another unknown player scored, bringing the score to 2-2.

This result leaves Chornomorets II sitting in eighth place with ten points from thirteen matches (2 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses), while Penuel, now ninth with six points from fourteen matches (1 win, 3 draws, and 10 losses), remains firmly at the bottom of the table. Both teams have struggled this season; however, this draw may provide a much-needed boost in morale as they look ahead.

Reflecting on recent form leading into this match reveals contrasting trajectories. Chornomorets II had recorded only one victory in their last five outings prior to this clash-a disheartening trend that included four losses and just one draw against Hirnyk-Sport. Meanwhile, Penuel entered this match buoyed by their unexpected win over Hirnyk-Sport just days earlier-a performance that hinted at potential resurgence despite their overall struggles.

Looking ahead, both teams face critical fixtures next week that could further shape their seasons. Chornomorets II will travel to Dinaz Vyshhorod on November 8 for what promises to be another challenging encounter. Similarly, Penuel will visit Oleksandria II on the same day as they seek to build upon this hard-fought draw.

As I reflect on my pre-match predictions-where I suggested goals might be scarce unless one side found its rhythm early-I must admit I underestimated both teams' attacking capabilities today. The two goals each team scored showcased their potential when given opportunities. While neither secured all three points today, both sides demonstrated enough grit and determination that suggests brighter days may lie ahead if they can maintain this level of play.

With so much still at stake in this competitive league environment, fans can expect continued excitement as these teams strive not only for survival but also for respectability as they navigate through what has been a challenging season thus far.
