But I am very grateful to the guys that even with the score 1-3, the guys wanted to win back and created chances. If we had scored one more goal, the game would have changed completely with the score 2-3. But we took a risk and conceded the fourth goal.
At some point, we failed. We will look into it, analyse it and draw conclusions. At one point, we were doing what we planned for the game, we could have turned it around, but the sending off ruined everything. And we failed. We will pull the guys out of this psychological hole and prepare for the historic match against Vorskla (in the semi-finals of the Ukrainian Cup - ed.)," Shyshchenko's words were quoted by the official website of Polissia.
