Rukh U-19 head coach Serhii Zadorozhnyi commented on the defeat of the yellow-and-blacks (0-2) in a match against their peers from Dynamo U-19.
- "It was a fighting match. Before we made the substitutions, the team played well and fulfilled the game plan. The first goal in this match reminded me of the match against Obolon - again, the defender rushes the opponent in a rolling move and loses his position, the pass is passed and Ponomarenko shows good individual qualities and scores a goal.
In the second half, we started to lose the fight in the centre of the pitch and it worried me. After Boyko's substitution, the team started to sink - you can't play like that in the last minutes. I can't say that Rukh failed in this match. We put the opponent to the test, we had a feeling that we could earn points in this game. The individual actions of the Kyiv team made all the difference in this match," Zadorozhnyi said.
