In the match of the 30th round of the UPL championship Obolon lost to Alexandria at home - 0:3 and now they have transition matches ahead of them to keep their place in the elite. Head coach of "brewers" Valeriy Ivashchenko commented on yesterday's game with "city dwellers":
"Once again you are convinced that you should not look for logic in football. In the reported confrontation we controlled the ball more often, created more chances, but unlike us, all three shots of Alexandrians in the goal were effective. It happens in football, when the opponent's greater experience affects.
Although everything could have turned out differently, if in the middle of the first half, when the score was still tied, the referee awarded an obvious penalty for the hand play of the guests' defender in the penalty area. For some reason, the VAR referee did not prompt him to pay attention to this offence either.
This is not the first time when, in my opinion, Obolon suffers from biased referees and I do not know how to deal with this problem.
Still, the main thing is that despite the defeat Obolon avoided a direct departure from the elite. Now it is important to recover as quickly as possible, because next Wednesday the Brewers will meet in the first transition game with Leviy Bereg, who finished third in the First League. Obolon have personnel problems, but I hope they will not be decisive," Ivashchenko said.
