It almost ended with a sensation another cup confrontation amateurs from Lebedyn with a team of masters, this time - "Miner". Kryvyi Rih managed to level the score only at the end of the match (1: 1), and in a series of post-match penalties they got a lucky ticket to the next round (4: 2).

- LNZ-Lebedyn, although it has an amateur status, but its ranks do not lack players who have experience of playing at a professional level, - says the head coach of "Girnyk" Gennady Prykhodko. - And the hosts should have taken the lead in their debut, as they began to play on the score, focusing on defense.

And although the team from Lebedyn defended quite organized, it did not prevent us, especially in the second half, to create scoring opportunities. But there were problems with the implementation again. We were obliged to win in regular time, and not to pass the test with a series of post-match penalties, where a lot depends on fortune. Fortunately, it worked out, but we have something to work on. First of all - over the sharp last pass, percussion technique.
