Up to 15 minutes, the opponents exchanged several hemisphere attacks. There was a real chance to score Kolomoets from Dallka, who ran to the "standard". First, two Vorskians prevented one another from locking the gear on the bar, and after giving the corner, Ardin headed the ball directly in the hands of Khudzhamov. Soon Azovs got their success in the attack, when it was neatly from the close distance to break through Ruslan Fomin - 0: 1.
Do you remember the goal of Roman Bezu in a fall through himself in the goal of Metalist in October 2011? The same was able to repeat Kulch at the gate of "Mariupol" - not a goal, but a candy box! Bravo, Vlad! Score equalized - 1: 1.
At the 33rd minute, the Vorskla goalkeeper could win again, lifting his hands up, but his filigree blow went a little further to the far end. Soon, Kobakhidze wanted to sell his "crown", but the ball passed through the "nine" gate of the guests. Just two episodes on the 43rd minute. Rebenok from the penalty area barely put the top corner, and after the submission of the corner Arthur hanged to the far end, where Dallku broke directly into the hands of the keeper. Arthur's three-legged Kolomoets-Kobakhidze before the final final whistle would have ended up with a goal, and the blow from Sandro went with a rebound, and just did not succeed.
The start of the second half seemed to be the continuation of the end of the first. Vorskaly created at least two real opportunities to score, and Mariupol was desperately and successfully repulsed. Khudzhamov pulled out this uneasy blow from the free kick straight to the left bar. Two minutes before the end of the main time of the game Poltava players in the counterattack threw the right flank Kobakhidze, who fired a lot along the gate, forcing Polleghenko to make a mistake, and cut the ball in his frame - 2: 1!
