The first half of the game witnessed the full game and territorial superiority of the Vorsklais in the reporting meeting. Time and again, guests from the Spiritual Capital created tension near the Chernihiv punitive zone, but this did not materialize in the scored balls. Instead, in one of the few counterattacks, Kalitvintsev put a bullet in the far top corner of the goal with a nice round shot - Desna led the way. Martynenko had the most realistic opportunity before taking a break. Yevgeny, breaking through the take-off, shook the crossbar, and it was a shame to jump at his head.
In the second half, the picture on the pitch did not change much. The White-Greens were constantly looking for approaches to Pasta's gates, but they did not stick with the strikes on the frame. And it happened as if under the old football rule. Chesnakov, seemingly in an innocent situation, slipped, an opponent who "covered" the Poltava captain intercepted the ball and lightly gave it to Filippov, and he doubled his team advantage - 2: 0.
