Metalist 1925 thrashed Obolon Kyiv 5-0 in the Premier League, with the game shaped by an early sending-off. Roman Volokhatyi received a second yellow card in the 7th minute and Obolon played the rest of the match with ten men.
Peter Itodo opened the scoring in the 9th minute, and Carlos Paraco headed a second in the 13th from Baton Zabergja’s assist. Zabergja made it 3-0 a minute later, Itodo turning provider, before Krupskyi Illia added a fourth in the 24th minute and Itodo completed the scoring with his second goal in the 45th.
Itodo was the standout performer, scoring twice and setting up another in a dominant display. Obolon rarely threatened after the early red card, and all five goals arrived before half-time.
