Midfielder of Kolas from Kovalivka, Daniil Alefirenko, summed up yesterday's match of his team against Kyiv's "Dynamo" (1:1) in the 15th round of the Ukrainian championship, where he became the author of the goal against the "white-blues".
“We had a strong opponent today. We knew how the Kyiv team would play — from a position of power. Therefore, I can't say that "Dynamo" surprised us in any way today.
Our goal combination? What combination, I just decided to shoot. And a deflection helped, after which the ball went straight into the far corner of the goal. So the combination in that episode was rather poor.
After we equalized the score, we gained confidence, and we aimed to score again. The defenders of "Dynamo" made mistakes, so we could have scored a second goal. But something was missing.
In the second half, it was already difficult. "Dynamo" is a very good team, so we mainly focused on defense and counterattacks,” Alefirenko said on the air of the YouTube channel "UPL TV".
