One of the Dnipro-1 coaches, Valeriy Gorodov, commented on his team's victory over the Cypriot Apollon (1:0) in yesterday's match of the 5th round of the Conference League group stage. Recall that this result allowed the Dnipro team to advance to the playoffs of the tournament ahead of schedule.
Valery Gorodov“We are very happy with this victory. It is for all citizens of Ukraine. I think that we beat the opponent in the case, we are very, very happy about this. Only in the last 20 minutes it was difficult for us, but there were moments that needed to be realized. The main thing is that today we played very tightly in defense.
Getting into the playoffs of the Conference League? We really strived for this result. For us, this is experience in European competitions. Entering the spring stage of the tournament is very good. I also want to thank Kosice, the stadium workers for the reception and help (due to the war, Dnipro-1 played its home matches of the Conference League in Kosice, Slovakia — ed.)", - said Gorodov after the match with Apollo.
