On September 27, Poltava’s «Vorskla» met «Victoria» (Sumy) in the match of the eighth round of the first league of Ukraine — the teams could not determine a winner and played to a draw (1:1). After the end of this confrontation, the head coach of the hosts, Oleksandr Babich, confirmed the information that his team failed to register legionnaires due to a transfer ban:
«Two legionnaires traveled with us for the away match, but then the ban came. It seemed like this issue was resolved — then a second ban arrived. They are trying to resolve it again. We will talk to the management.
These two players will certainly add creativity to our attacking actions. We are deploying extreme wingers in attack, young guys — that’s not their position; it’s the position of a right back. We are trying to somehow get out of this situation.
Contracts were signed, but we didn’t have time to declare them. I can say this: we lacked about 2 or 3 hours,» Babich said.
