Blogger Andriy Kolisnyk reported the sad news from the location of LNZ Cherkasy, which played against Dynamo Kyiv in the 8th round today.
"LNZ midfielder Vitaliy Boyko lost his father yesterday... I found out a few minutes before the pre-match training. The funeral was held this morning. For obvious reasons, Vitaliy had to miss today's match against Dynamo.
A few hours before the game, Vitaliy called and said he wanted to be with the team. He was included in the application, and, of course, remained on the bench. But an injury to team captain Maksym Lopyryonko in the first half forced the coaching staff to replace him with Boyko.
And in the second half, Vitaliy, who received the captain's armband from the injured Lopyryonko, scored a goal for Dynamo Kyiv. Boya, hold on, we are proud of you! He saw everything," Andriy wrote on Telegram.
