"My goal cost Fomenko his job": ex-Ukrainian striker recalls how he "sacked" the Dynamo legend

The legendary Veres and Ukraine national team forward of the early 1990s Oleksandr Palyanytsya told about the famous triumph of the Rivne club over Dynamo in the Ukrainian Cup 1/8 final.

"I do not know why, but in the championship we could not get high. We even failed to break into the top ten. Maybe, the 12th place in 1994 was the limit for Veres. Many teams were as good as we were, and some were even better.

We were really good in the Cup. We drew nothing against Dynamo at home and in Kyiv I scored the decisive goal. We played at the "Respublikansky" stadium at that time. I scored a simple goal and got the ball into an empty net. It looks like my goal was worth Fomenko's job", Palyanytsya said.
