Ihor Kostyuk (photo: fcdynamo.com)— We analyzed the opponent, understood how they would play, chose the right tactics for the game, and it bore fruit in the first half. If we hadn't conceded before the break, we would have felt more confident.
The second half saw a rebuild as there were breakdowns - but an air alert interrupted the match. In the locker room during the break, they made adjustments, scored the third goal right away, which gave them confidence, they could have scored more to bring the score to a big one. But I am happy, first of all, that the guys fulfilled the game setup, which we agreed on, and played strictly.
— Another goal was scored by Matkevich, he is the team's best scorer, although he is a midfielder by role...
— The whole team plays in our attack, and our extreme midfielders can be called full-fledged attackers. They must be in the end zone. In the previous match, he blocked the far post, today he served - and the ball flew into the goal. But all goals are a team effort.
— In the penalty shootout, Diallo's displeasure was evident as he wanted to take the penalty kick. Is such a desire of football players to score commendable?
— This is a team, and they themselves figured out who to punch. Happy that Gorbach scored. He is very useful for our team, in every game he does a lot of work, but the ball stubbornly does not go into the goal. Today it was important for him to score, he earned a penalty and took it. This should give him confidence for further matches. With the amount of chances he has in every match, hopefully he starts scoring regularly.
— Currently, the team has a six-match unbeaten streak, but at the same time there were unexpected losses of points in matches with "Kryvbas", "Chornomorets". Too bad you didn't get the maximum?
- This is football. If you score, you win, if you don't score, you don't win. And there is an unspoken rule of football that if you don't score, they will score. But at the same time, "Kryvbas" actually drew with us without moments, in the first 15 minutes of the match with "Chornomorets" we had to score at least four goals and remove all questions about the winner. But it is a shame that we lose points in matches in which we completely control the game and have a total advantage.
