Vorskla missed at the start, but this goal is rather optional. As a result, Vitaliy Kosovsky's wardens began to take the initiative little by little, giving rise to moments and quite unsubstantiated hopes of the hosts of the field to make the situation even. They were forced from the flanks, and the strikers Vasin and Kolomoyets were left without a ball. And here it must be said that for a whole batch of applause, he earned his selfless play by the Kiper of Luhansk Shevchenko.
In the second 45 minutes the initiative of Vorsklan no longer caused any doubts. Football players in white overplayed their visas for all articles, constantly pumped up at other people's possessions, and the score on the scoreboard did not change. Particularly close to success were Gabelok and Kolomoyets, and Artem and Yuri lacked centimeters for the ball to enter the lower left corner.
Unfortunately, neither the statistics nor the applause of the stands, which accompanied their team after the applause, could not cheer up the players of Vorskla. However, as the guys say, sports anger, multiplied by certain unwritten football laws, give reason to hope for a favorable result in the coming meetings.
