Viktor Skripnik’s pupils began to show their usual football even as questions about the distribution of tickets for the UEFA Europa League playoffs were almost ghostly to them. However, Luhansk Zarya made me happy anyway, because finding the embryos of character and sporting rage among the players in today’s grueling “coronavirus” soccer remains a challenge. I wanted to worry about the bronze medalist from the last championship, and never mind that his nine-point ceiling this year didn’t seem so easy to achieve.
Ukraine’s rival, Portugal’s Braga, could no longer be attacked by inferior opponents in the G quartet standings, but the “archbishops” still wanted to win their match by correspondence against English Leicester. To do this, they had to make sure they win at Zorya, and only then hope that a satisfactory result will come from a parallel duel in the form of a fox’s misfire.
Otherwise, the Portuguese would have lost by defeat in the third round (0: 4) and an effective draw at home (3: 3). The problem for Zarya was also that if the scenario with the Greek AEK victory had worked, Skripnik’s team would have fallen to last place, as they had conceded an “extra” goal at home.
The owners needed more, so they raced for the Ukrainian team’s gates from the kickoff. On this day, the city of Braga was surrounded by heavy rains, which did not even think of stopping neither before, during nor after the game, so the players played in the torrential rain, although the coverage of the sand in the Iberian Peninsula it was much more stable than that of Croatian Rijeka in the qualifying game against Picos.
Already in the fourth minute, Tsiganiks had to take the ball from the goal line after Ruiz struck from the left corner of the goalkeeper’s corner and Ze Carlos shot over the crossbar to finish, this was the first moment of this match.
“The gunsmiths” did not hesitate to put pressure on our half, and Zarya didn’t get used to it right away. At least a couple more times, the opponents entered Shevchenko’s penalty area, but did not pass the final blow. Towards the middle of the half, Skripnik’s team managed to get used to such a fast pace of the match and began to give a decent response to their opponents.
However, Kochergin and Yurchenko’s strikes to the side of the left crossbar from a medium distance were definitely not on par with Shevchenko’s rescue from Ruiz’s heads-up and several dangerous long-distance shots from Orta. Everyone knew perfectly well that it was impossible to concede de Braga to their field, because the hosts could simply close after that with control in their field. Before the break we had a lot of patience, but in the second half a more persistent attacking game was expected from the Lugansk team.
The game continued to look like a whisper even after the teams returned to the field, but Zarya received a painful click to the nose from the agility of the opening attacks. The fight lost in midfield in the 61st minute turned into a heads-up on the left flank of the penalty area between Favorov and Galen, who is quite capable of dribbling any opponent.
Denis also fell under the opponent’s light hand, and the Brazilian’s low kick to the other side of his own goal cut through Abu Khanna, who had no other choice. Braga soon put three substitutions into action at once, and already in the first attack, Medeiros, who entered the field, found Ricardo Horta on the right flank of our penalty area, an instant shot that surpassed Shevchenko cut the team of Lugansk for a possible positive result.
Viktor Skripnik’s guards were not laying down their weapons at this time, however they failed to secure their targets. Moments arose thanks to activities outside of someone else’s penalty area, but goalkeeper Sa decided not to miss that afternoon. The difficult European campaign ended unsuccessfully, but the people of Lugansk provided the beginning for future success.
The final ranking of Quartet G is as follows: first place is assigned to English Leicester, Portuguese Braga is second, Luhansk Zarya is in third place and Greek AEK is the main loser.
The top two teams will go to the 1/16 finals of the UEFA Europa League, where they will be joined by teams of similar positions in other groups as well as third-place clubs in the UEFA Champions League quartets, including our Dynamo Kiev and Shakhtar Donetsk.
