Myron Markevych, head coach of Karpaty and former coach of Metalist, commented on the poor position of Kharkiv in the First League.
- "This coaching staff of Metalist used to work with me. I am sure that this team will stay in the first league. They need to have a sponsor, because Yevhen Krasnikov alone can't do it," the Karpaty press service quoted Markevych as saying.
