But it is worth noting that in Transcarpathia, representatives of the Donetsk club did not miss a single ball.

In the group, Zubov's charges beat German "Brandenburg" (5: 0), Hungarian "Varda" (4: 0) and Lviv "Karpaty" (2: 0), in the semifinals they defeated Kyiv "Dynamo", which put Gavashi in the tournament. football players who are one year younger - born in 2005 (4: 0), and in the final they met a very stubborn opposition of Uzhhorod SDYUSSHOR - 0: 0.
