«I wish to address and apologize for my emotional reaction during the last match in front of the family of the „Karpaty“ football club.

Football is a game of passion. Sometimes, when you fight for your own, emotions can outweigh cold calculation. My desire to protect the team and achieve results for the club was too strong.

I realize that I should have remained calmer. Therefore, I apologize to our green and white family — those for whom we work and fight every day.

But I do not accept this punishment,» Lupashko wrote on his Facebook page.
