The head coach of Kharkiv's Metalist 1925, Viktor Skrypnyk, commented on the 1-2 defeat to Rivne's Veres in yesterday's match of the final 30th round of the Ukrainian Premier League, after which his team finished in last place and dropped out of the UPL.

Secondly, with such a game, we deserved to be relegated. Thirdly, I thanked the team for the season.
We are upset. To comment on anything here is to mock ourselves. Everyone understands the situation we are in. I congratulate Veres on the victory and that's all I want to say. Football is not just about flowers and victories. We will find out what happens next later," Veres' official website quoted Skrypnyk as saying.
