In such matches, the result is pressure when a ticket to the UPL is at stake. Yes, perhaps we played somewhere according to the score, but still, we tried to break out into counterattacks and create something up front.
We will calmly analyze this game and prepare for Sunday’s match. This was only the first round, we all understand this,” — quotes Yurchenko the official website of “Metalist 1925”.
