You have to play until the dick! Dnipro-1 defeated Desna

Saturday’s game at the stadium. Yuri Garain in Chernigov has turned into a real football performance. Desna and Dnipro-1 played a spectacular duel that kept the public in suspense from the first to the last minute.

The teams began the match without swaying. The ball did not stay in the middle of the field, attack after attack. The flanks of the attack of the guests were very active, while “Desna” operated more in the center. Moments can be listed for a long time, but it must be said that their number was approximately the same. Both goalkeepers played very well, both Litovka and Yurchuk worked hard. They both made some impressive stops. And in the middle of the half, the Dnipro were also lucky. After Gutsulyak hit, the ball hit the post, from him, on the goalkeeper’s back, and then bounced into the corner.

The teams continued to exchange blows. The statistics for the UPL game are impressive. During the first half, “Desna” hit 5 shots on goal, “Dnipro-1” 6. In the corners, too, a slight advantage for the guests – 5: 7. And although the game as a whole must be considered equal, the score 0: 1 cannot be considered unfair. And Dnipro scored in injury time, and after a counterattack. Pikhalyonok from the center line made a throw behind the defenders’ backs. Chuzhe caught the ball, beat Gitchenko in the penalty area and shot at goal. Note that the goal was the first for the Croatian in the Ukrainian championship.

Of course, in the second half, the hosts came out even more loaded. Possession after the break – 66: 34% in your favor. Desna has clearly added (8 hits against 5). However, Yurchuk continued to do wonders, reflecting dangerous shots and playing excellently in the outings. Dnipro-1 began to play in counterattacks. And he got away with it. Substitute Bezborodko only at the cost of a foul managed to stop Di Franco, who was running towards the goal, not far from the penalty area. And again, Pikhalyonok and Chuzhe became the main characters. Pikhalyonok made a good shot from the set, but Litovka deflected the ball. And the first to finish was Chuzhe himself, who scored a double – 0: 2. It was the last minute offset, so the “Northerners” had no chance to recover.

Desna remained in fourth place with 30 points, in the next round the team will host Olimpik Donetsk. Dnipro extended their unbeaten streak to six games. The team has 22 points and 8th row in the standings. The next game Dnipro will play at home against Lvov.
