Zorya Luhansk striker Nazariy Rusin summarised the results of his team's match against Lviv Ruh (1:2) in the 1st round of the Ukrainian championship.
"I don't know why we lost - ask the experts about it. We played two different halves. Before the break controlled the course of the match, could score. However, we could have scored at the beginning of the second half. If we had managed to do it, then with the score 2-0 it would have been a completely different game.
It seems to me that after 70 minutes we were a bit down. Not even a little, but a lot. It was a bit hard. But "Rukh", on the contrary, added. Well done, I congratulate them on the victory.
I'm sure we will add more. Last season we also lost here 1-3, but nothing, then we improved. I think everything will be fine.
How are you in attack without Brazhko and Buletsa (both of them returned from the lease in Zorya to Dynamo Kyiv - ed.)? It is difficult, because we have played together. It is difficult when the team is rebuilt every year. We have to get used to each other again. Yes, Brazhko and Buletsa were missing somewhere today, but we have young guys, new players. I think we will play and everything will be fine," Rusin said after the match with Ruh on the air of "UPL TV".
