Goal: Vasin (65, penalty kick)
March 12, 2020, 7:00 pm. Chernihiv, Yu. Gagarin Stadium. A game without spectators.
Desna: Past, Konoplia, Tamm, Hitchenko, D. Favorov, Ermakov, Arveladze (Budkovsky, 86), Kartushov, Totovitsky, Kuzik (Kalitvintsev, 66), Khlobas (Filippov, 66).
"Vorskla": Riznyk, Perduta, Chesnakov (Bainko, 46), Allioune, Yakubu, Sklyar, Puclin, Vasin (Kravchuk, 70), Louisao, Kane, Kulach (Stepanyuk, 46).
In the 6th minute after a flank shot, the prospect of a one-touch shot by Kulach, and the ball flew past the right post. The masters responded with a blow from their captain - Tavorov - and Riznyk correctly chose the position by covering the ball. Soon, Desna even scored a goal, however, from a clear offside, and this goal was immediately canceled.
33 minutes should have scored the goal of Vorskla, and a strike by Luisao after a quick few strokes pulled the home side keeper.
The activity of the Vorsklians at the start of the second half instilled optimism in the hearts of supporters of the Poltava club game. Putslin and Yakubu were noted for their active actions. Ex-Poltava Khlobas checked his cannon at the 53rd minute - strongly and over the bar. In the 57th minute, Perduta right hand pardoned the right corner of the penalty area, punching above the right "nine".
In the 64th minute, Tamm made a mistake when he took the ball out of his possession, Yakubu picked it up and struck it, and on the way the ball to the goal came a penalty. Vasin did not leave Pasta's chances - Yuri Maximov's team is ahead!
And here he is - the debut of 18-year-old Danil Kravchuk. The guy has earned his inspired work in training and in official U-19 and U-21 meetings.
As could be predicted, at the end of the meeting Desna sent a large force to attack, even sacrificing a support zone, and the villagers courageously defended their victory, giving great joy to the Poltava fan, which now, of course, will require more from the team.
Vorskla finally managed to overcome the barrier in the last 10 years and reached the semi-final stage of the Cup of Ukraine!
