The goalkeeper of Alexandria, Georgiy Ermakov, responded to a question about which match his team lost the chance to win the championship title.

This is a long distance we tried to go from game to game, looking at various circumstances that arose along the way. But one must understand the format of the Ukrainian championship: in case of an equal number of points, head-to-head matches are counted. And the head-to-head match with Dynamo was extremely important (Alexandria — Dynamo — 0:0, Dynamo — Alexandria — 3:0, — note by the editor.). And although there were many games left to neutralize that defeat and take our points.
It is not very correct to single out one game here. It is clear that the defeat to Karpaty was perceived more sharply and emotionally. Because it was already the end of the distance and the decisive phase of the tournament. But there are many other moments in the season where discipline had to be maintained. This is the specificity of the championship,” quotes Ermakov Football.ua.
