Ruslan Stepanyuk's second goal in the two opening matches of 2020 (both with national football grands), a selfless, courageous and beautiful game which, judging by the reaction of the stands, pleases the fan, interrupted Shakhtar's winless 48-match series - briefly about .
How many who believed in the victory of the Vorsklans over the most formidable force in Ukrainian football? After the final whistle, many said yes. In fact, the experts, the footballers themselves, and even the most thoughtful experts, the fans, were inclined to believe that for the current "Vorskla", which by the will of fate was in the foundations of the standings, even one credit score in the confrontation with the "car" of Luis Kastru would be fortunate .
Quite a bold thought came from the mouth of a new force in the attack of "white-green" Ruslan Stepaniuk in an interview for the official match program, where the assailant said that when it would be "just that day," everything is possible. And did not lose: he used the filigree pass from Sklyar, becoming the hero of the meeting. But, in fact, the heroes are all the guys whom Yuriy Maximov united for the sole purpose of asking him to "just play football". The kind of football that coaches like to the whole team, and most importantly, the fan to the result. We did it today. Yes, it is we - everyone who came to the stadium, those who broke their voice even in front of the television without having for some reason to be present at the game, those who criticized, forcing the team to be stronger. Moreover, Vorskla took the mountain over the Pitmen for the first time since 2014. Next - more!
