Ukrainian midfielder of the Italian "Spezia" Viktor Kovalenko yesterday took part in the next match of his team and scored an assist.
The 26-year-old football player got into the starting lineup of Spezia for yesterday's away match of the Coppa Italia with Atalanta, and in the 38th minute, it was after the pass of the Ukrainian Daniele Verde that he sent the second ball into the goal of the home team.
Note that this is the first effective action for Kovalenko this season. At the same time, the last time a Ukrainian excelled was almost a year ago, in March last spring.
