Sunday’s program of the eleventh round of the Ukrainian Premier League opened with a showdown in snowy Uzhgorod, where on the field of Avangard Stadium the “Minaj” from Transcarpathia hosted the “Zarya” from Lugansk. Vasily Kobin’s pupils were in a more advantageous position, because they did not need to participate in the European Cup match the day before. What cannot be said about their rival: The bronze medalists from the last championship did not have time to complete a full three-day recovery cycle after an away game against AEK Greek in the UEFA Europa League.
However, this did not stop Lugansk’s mentor, Viktor Skrypnik, from preparing for a duel this season against the “elite” newcomer almost the same squad that defended the colors of “Zorya” in a successful arena showdown. international (3: 0). With only one difference: the place in the goal was occupied by the Bosnian Nikola Vasil, and not Nikita Shevchenko. The argument for this decision of the coaching staff was the fact that Zorya started after the November break for the national teams’ matches a few days later than the rest of the UPL teams.
It was obvious that the guests’ power reserve was not without dimensions. Already at certain moments in the first half, when Zorya’s players lost concentration in simple situations, this became even more noticeable. Kobin’s sentries retained the right to the first scoring opportunity, however, twice in the same situation in the central zone, Shinder decided to shoot the rival goalkeeper from a lethal position, having previously freed himself from custody with a well-placed body. . Following a teammate’s failure in the 13th minute, after a quarter of an hour of play, Melichenko unsuccessfully tried to hit the far corner to complete a lunge on the right flank of someone else’s penalty area.
Zorya did not attack with enough intensity, choosing a tactic similar to approaching the opponents to the opponent’s penalty area through a long pass to the flank, so that in the first 45 minutes he managed to get only one foot kick out of his efforts. of Kabaev from the far post from the right flank. This trend should have become problematic for both sides, because the snowfall in Uzhgorod was only gaining momentum, and already at the beginning of the second half the ball was solemnly changed to a similar model, but in “winter” colors.
Skripnik’s team had no time to hit again after the break, so Zorya switched to instant delivery of the ball to someone else’s penalty area, as a result of which he caught opponents three times on errors. Initially, the central zone in front of the penalty area was thrown to be shattered by a pull from Gromov, who did not only beat Kanibolotsky, but Kochergin managed to become first on the rebound. Then Minay’s goalkeeper made a big mistake by intercepting serve down the right flank, colliding with Maymbe and sending the ball into the empty net for Ivaniseni. And soon enough, Kochergin drove into the empty net for Gladky from the right flank of someone else’s penalty. The notorious seven minutes were enough for everything.
The fate of the match was already predestined, so the activity of the home team in the final stretch of the match may be welcome, but it did not lead to anything concrete. “Minaj” carried out several significant attacks, at the end of which they lacked skill and composure, so a certain residue of understatement will remain on Kobin’s team. However, the opponent played on a completely different pragmatic level.
In the next round, Minaj Transcarpathian will play an away match against Shakhtar Donetsk, and Zorya Luhansk will face Dnipro-1 Dnipro in Zaporozhye.
