After a series of defeats, the composition of the Vorsklian has undergone some changes. Martynenko appeared in the center of the defense and was looking for his chance Kolomoyets at the height of the attack. Unfortunately, to show both teams everything they can prevent the rain that has not subsided throughout the match. The first 45 minutes to the home team failed, but after the break, the audience saw another "Vorskla" - an aggressive, constantly focused on the search for approaches to the Mariupol gate, relentless in every single fight. By some time, all the sharpness that had arisen near Tkachenko's "frame" was extinguished by the defenders, and in particular by the Kiper himself, who repeatedly broke the applause in the stands.
The home side missed a goal 57 minutes into the match. Chobotenko made the most of the corner from Churk. A missed ball did not destroy Kosowski's team and eventually a substitution worked out at the end of the match. Denis Vasin, punching from the turn, put the ball in the corner of Galchuk's goal and shortly after the final whistle - 1:1.
