Without hiding their intentions on this trip to Zaporozhia, the wolves immediately gave a clear message to the Lugans who would not be ashamed to go to the attack. In confirmation, for example, the "white-green" attack on the 16th minute. Witty Kulach gave his heel on Kobakhidze. Georgian legionary punched, but Lunin took the ball. Something more or less like trying to score Zorya managed to organize on the 26th minute, when Silas broke through the left rack from outside the penalty area after the corner, and soon an attempt to hit the ex-Poltava Gromov blocked the defense. On the way out of the first half hour of the game, rivalry teams shifted closer to the central circle, bringing them to separate microdule. Only before the break for a break activated poltavians, and to exacerbate at the gate on the right did not reach. In the second half, Fawal, from the "Star", was able to score in a perfectly placed position, while Shust timed out of the "frame", eliminated the threat. After the 68th minute, the Poltava players were forced to quickly rebuild, because Vadim Sapay left the second warning field. The numerical majority was given a meaning instantaneously. The balls of Gordienko and the handsome goal of Yuri were scorched by scissors with a twin against the scratch on the "Slavutych-Arena" scoreboard. The third goal was two minutes before the end of the main game time. This Gromov thus conveyed greetings to his former teammates.
