A gift for the president and a hero at the door. Lviv won the long-awaited victory

In this match teams that were located at opposite poles of the tournament table faced each other. Vorskla was among the leaders with 15 points after 8 matches. And “Lviv” had only 6 matches, where they only once drew, and in the rest they were defeated. As a result, the last place and the early resignation of head coach Georgy Tsetsadze.

Vitaly Shumsky led the Lviv team to the game with the Poltava club. Previously, he was a member of the townspeople coaching staff, in addition, at one point he coached the youth team. Compared to the previous game, in which Lviv lost 1: 3 to Dnipro-1 at home, the new manager made only three substitutions, thus showing that he still trusts the players at the nominal base. As for Vorskla, he came out in his own wrestling lineup, and Yuri Maksimov could already count on those players who were previously on sick leave.

As expected, the guests from the first minutes seized the game advantage and went ahead with great force. Already in the third minute they got a corner kick, although after it they did not extract anything useful for them. In the 9th minute, Pavel Rebny ran dangerously towards the home team’s goal, but was unable to beat Orest Kostik.

In the 15th minute, Lviv also responded quite harshly. It was Nazariy Nych who hit hard from outside the area and the ball flew very close to the upper left corner of the goal. But literally three minutes later Pavel Child proved that he also knows how to shoot well from a distance, here Orest Kostik with great difficulty moved the ball to the corner. And even a minute after the corner kick, Vladimir Chesnakov hit his head from the center of the penalty area. And again the Lviv goalkeeper played reliably.

Unfortunately for Vorskla, very early, already in the 22nd minute, due to injury, Vladislav Kulach, one of the team’s main attacking players, asked to be replaced. And five minutes later the guests conceded a goal at all. In this episode, the Lviv striker Nazariy Nycha stands out, who, after receiving a pass from Shina not far from the opponents’ penalty area, overcame two defenders and, from below Najeeb, Yakub made an accurate shot to the right corner of the goal with the left foot.

The loss of one of the scorers and the conceded goal obviously had a negative effect on Poltava. Furthermore, in the 36th minute, Kherson’s match referee Igor Paskhal saw no violation of the rules by Artem Chelyadin in the Lvov penalty area. He fell in a fight with a defender, but the referee showed that the game can continue. All Vorskla could achieve before the end of time was to create tension in the home team’s goal in the 43rd minute, when after Ruslan Stepanyuk’s kick, Lviv defender Maruan Mikhobi struck the ball with his head almost from the line. goal.

Immediately after the break, Yuri Maksimov released Dmitry Shcherbak onto the field and it had to happen that a few seconds after the restart of play, this midfielder became the focus of a highly controversial episode. The Vorskla player pushed Frane Chiryak into midfield, after which Igor Paskhal watched Shcherbak’s actions for four minutes on the monitor for his elimination. In the end, the judge only showed the offender a yellow card. And soon the head coach of the guests saw a card of the same color in front of him for showing excessive emotions.

The Vorskla players understood that they needed to come back as soon as possible, but, carried away by the match that awaited them, they missed two dangerous counterattacks by the home team. At first, in the 56th minute, Frane Chiryak had a good shot on goal, but missed. And then three minutes later, Trakai Kazlauskas ran out of hand with Dmitry Riznyk, but fumbled the ball away and the goalkeeper managed to knock him out on the field.

In the 65th minute, the aforementioned Dmitry Shcherbak had a good time to score. He received a pass down the right from Igor Perduta and hit the ball from seven meters, but Orest Kostik was in his place. Then Perduta himself won while in the penalty area, but here his opponents blocked his shot. And in the 75th minute after Ibrahim Kane’s pass, Daniil Kravchuk, who had just appeared on the field, hit his head in the fight against the goalkeeper and the defender, but did not hit the goal.

Then time passed and the guests couldn’t score the ball. There was still a moment left for Ivan Pesic, but he didn’t take his chance either. Also, during the counterattacks, the Lviv had the opportunity to increase their advantage. However, the score on the scoreboard did not change.

The match referee made up for 7 minutes and in the last of them, after Igor Perduta hit the ball, the ball hit Marouane Mihobi’s hand. After watching this episode, Igor Paskhal pointed to the penalty spot. Already in the ninth minute added, Ibrahim Kane approached the ball and shot into the right corner of the goal. Orest Kostik hit the ball in a jump and immediately the final whistle sounded.

As a result, “Lviv” unexpectedly for many won their first victory in the current championship of Ukraine. And, generally speaking, until today the Lviv team won the last one already on February 23 in a duel with Donetsk Olimpik with the same score 1: 0.
