Renowned journalist Serhiy Tyshchenko talks about Dynamo U-19's chances of winning the youth championship after their 2-1 victory over Shakhtar U-19.
"After Dynamo's victory over Shakhtar in Shchaslyve, the Dynamo U-19 team needs 4 points in two rounds to win the championship. Now Dynamo have plus two points. Ihor Kostiuk's team won both head-to-head games - 2-0 and 2-1. Four points in two rounds will bring gold medals.
In the next round, Kyiv will play in Kryvyi Rih against Kryvbas, as the first game took place in Kyiv. I do not rule out that this game will be moved to Kyiv. Then we have a trip to the current champion Rukh. "Kryvbas is a strong mid-table side, while Rukh fell apart in the spring. If there is no sensation, Kyiv can win and not lose. Concentration, attention, motivation - there is no need to invent anything.
In reality, even one victory may be enough. Shakhtar have matches against Dnipro-1 and Kryvbas. I don't really believe they will win twice," Tyshchenko wrote on Telegram.
