October 20, 2019, 7:30 pm. Kiev, Dynamo Stadium named after Valery Lobanovsky.
Vorskla's starting lineup surprised many. Did only objective circumstances force Vitaliy Kosovsky to take this radical step? Because of his illness, Kane cannot play yet, and Arthur has come to the infirmary just before the trip to Kiev, and he is not ready yet to help the Petrovich team.
Nominee doublers Melnychuk, Chelyadin, Kozirenko and Strizhak have long stated their ambitions in the main team of "white and green", so their appearance in the Poltava team - is still a generous advance from the coaching staff.
In the 23rd minute, he broke the applause of Tkachenko, translating into a corner insidious blow from the "standard". Prior to this, both teams had several times to deploy their attacking prospects several times, and they did not have the benefit. A witty concealed pass down the stretch from Louisao to Kozirenko could be a goal, and Yuri missed a meter to get the ball. After a corner kick in the crowd, the ball failed to push the ball behind the goal line to Baenko, which made the player grab his head. Again, the 27th number of Vorsklian was on the brink of attack in the 40th minute, and the head could not beat Krynsky.
57 minutes into the game, a great combination of Louisiana and Kolomoets should have resulted in a logical goal from the offensive player, and the cross saved the Donetsk team. Soon, Vasin tried to aim at the far corner - he passed the ball. And what, old football rule? Teixeira's Olympian, receiving a pass through the center right in the penalty area, was able to beat Alexander Tkachenko - 1: 0. Lukyanchuk irresistibly punched his head after a cross from the corner, and it is 2-0 ...
A good example of a game where Fortune was maximally sympathetic to some and most biased to others.
