In the 9th round of the Ukrainian championship, Karpaty and Ingulets played out a 0-0 draw. Ingulets head coach Vasyl Kobin told us who was closer to victory:
"The rivalry was on an equal footing, except that in the last 15 minutes Karpaty were more active. Still, the fact that the Lviv team had one more day to recover made itself felt. Under the curtain of the confrontation, goalkeeper Oleksiy Palamarchuk helped us out by parrying a penalty kick. Was it an 11-meter penalty? You know, I haven't watched the video of this episode yet, but when a similar violation took place near the home team's penalty area a little earlier, the referee's whistle didn't blow. "Ingulets does not deserve such an attitude. And this is the case in almost every match, so where is the justice, the change for the better? The rights of clubs should be equal.
In my opinion, Ingulets did not deserve to lose. There were promising moves from defense to offense, often threatening the Karpaty goal. We are gradually improving, and in general, I have no complaints about the team for the match in Lviv," Kobin said.
Ingulets currently ranks 16th in the UPL with 5 points.
