In the rest of games were nominated technical losses to the team and its opponents - technical victory.

    Podillia Khmelnytskyi

    In the second half of the season Podillia Khmelnytskyi moved from Khmelnytskyi to Krasyliv. At the same time for the amateur championship registered a new club from Khmelnytskyi, FC Podillia-Khmelnytskyi Khmelnytskyi. So, since spring 2007 there were two clubs Podillia, one at professional level playing in Krasyliv and other - amateur playing in Khmelnytskyi. One of the reasons was the prior merger of Podillia with FC Krasyliv back in 2004. At the end of 2006-07 season Podillia Krasyliv changed back to FC Krasyliv and was scheduled to play in the 2007-08 Ukrainian Second League, but withdrew just before the start of season.

    Instead of Krasyliv to the Ukrainian Second League applied the newly revived FC Podillia-Khmelnytskyi Khmelnytskyi. In such manner there was created a club's continium.
