One of the coaches of Luhansk's Zorya, Mladen Bartulovich, summed up his team's 2-2 win over Dnipro-1 in the 23rd round of the Ukrainian championship.
"In my opinion, it was a very interesting match. Perhaps the fans liked the second half more, but overall the game was good. "Dnipro-1 scored two quick goals in the second half.
We played to the end. We believed that we could save this match. Kiryukhantsev's goal gave us confidence. The second goal was also natural - a good combination and Gorbach levelled the score at 2-2. We managed not only to equalise but also to seize the initiative. But, the first alarm... It went in favour of the opponent. It was clear that our guys caught the rhythm of the match and were running away.
We could have won, but, again, it was an alarm. After the anxiety, it was not so interesting to finish the match. As they say, you have to take what you can get," Bartulovich was quoted as saying by Zorya's official website.
