Former Dynamo Kyiv midfielder and now a famous Ukrainian coach Serhiy Kovalets shared his impressions of the match of the 18th round of the Ukrainian championship between Oleksandriya and Shakhtar Donetsk, which ended 0-0.
"It was obvious that the Alexandrians were very well tuned for the game. Even at the training camp abroad, the team looked good. I watched some of the matches that Alexandria played in Turkey and saw that they demonstrated aggressive football.
It is clear that Shakhtar were somewhat unbalanced psychologically after the European Cup games with Marseille. Therefore, it seems to me that the draw was a game-winning result, as the Pitmen could have won both, with Shved hitting the bar at the end of the match, and the Alexandrians. Although both clubs are not satisfied with the draw," Sport.ua quoted Kovalets as saying.
