In the 5th round of the UPL championship, Obolon lost to Zorya 0:2 at home and are now at the bottom of the standings. The Brewers coach Valerii Ivashchenko explained what prevented his team from achieving a positive result:
"In short, it was the individual mistakes of the central defenders Pryimak and Dubko, which led to conceded goals, and the inability to realize goal-scoring chances. Unfortunately, after Krasnopir left Obolon, we had no scoring strikers left.
Did I talk to the club management after the match about possible conclusions? No, perhaps such a meeting will take place on September 2. Since there is a pause in the UPL championship caused by national team matches, we will meet again on September 3. Next Saturday we plan to hold a sparring match. The opponent is still being determined," Ivashchenko said.
