"The game largely depended on the result of the first match. We lacked pace in the first half, we played very carefully. We wanted to approach the match in a way to keep the game under control, so we strengthened the midfield so that we could control the ball as much as possible, have good possession and create dangerous chances. In general, we should have shown a better and more convincing game, especially in the first half, it was one of our worst performances in recent times.

In the fourth round we will meet the team that finished one place below Dnipro-1 in the Ukrainian league standings - Zorya. I think this is an anomaly, but it is good for us. We have not yet analysed the next opponent in detail, but it looks like this team is very similar in type to Dnipro-1," Slavia's official website quotes Trpisovskiy as saying.
