A scandal concluded one of the matches of the 14th round of the youth (U-19) championship of Ukraine, in which yesterday the Zhytomyr "Polesie U-19" met the Luhansk "Zarya U-19" (2:2).
Just before the final whistle, the head coach of the home team, Gennady Litovchenko, struck the assistant referee in the neck.
The incident occurred immediately after "Zarya U-19" converted a penalty (thus avoiding defeat), awarded against "Polesie U-19" in the fourth added minute of the second half.
