Valeriy Ivashchenko: "Of course, removal was not part of our plans"

Head coach of Obolon Kyiv Valeriy Ivashchenko commented on the defeat of Dynamo Kyiv in the match of the 17th round of the Ukrainian championship.

- "Dynamo is a contender for the championship, they are the grandees of Ukrainian football, they have more experience. That's why we had to play more disciplined at the back. And the first penalty could have been avoided. But as it happened, so it happened. Of course, this was not part of our plans, we had to rebuild. We managed to hold out somewhere, but in the second half we conceded a goal out of the blue, and the game became nervous.

Benito had contact with Prokopenko when he was first on the ball. If this is not a violation, then I don't know where the violation is. But I was told that at that moment the VAR considered offside. This caused outrage," Ivashchenko said on the air.
