We managed to score the goals that we couldn’t score in the previous match against Dynamo. We deservedly won.
Scuffle with Yarmolenko? I respect Andriy Mykolayovych a lot — both as a person and as a player. What happens on the field should stay there. In that moment, I played the ball, and Andriy probably didn’t like something. After the game, we shook hands. He’s a legend of the Ukrainian national team and our entire football. I have great respect for him. It’s football, emotions, things like this happen,' Bondar is quoted by the Telegram channel 'Vzbirna' with reference to Tsyganyk LIVE.
