First League: Tactical Victory of Dnipro-1 and Vanguard Rehabilitation after Cup Failure

Probably, even the most ardent fans of Dnipro-1 out of the 5 who came to support the team in the confrontation with Volyn did not believe in such a benefit for their favorites.

After all, before this face-to-face meeting, Luhansk residents were the only ones who performed without losses, moreover, keeping their possessions intact. In Dnipro, the visitors' goalkeeper Bohdan Kohut conceded five goals at once, and there could have been even more - the hosts acted so sharply. And all thanks to the tactics chosen by the manager of "Dnipro-1" Dmitry Mikhailenko, who, having information that the guests will play three central defenders, adopted flank attacks, for which they were not ready.

The hosts materialized their game advantage in the goal in the middle of the first half, when Serhiy Kravchenko brought Oleksiy Chichikov to the strike position, who won the duel with Bohdan Kohut. And soon the Dnipro midfielder Ihor Kohut upset his namesake. 2: 0. Dmytro Mykhaylenko's wards could not be stopped: Dmytro Bashlay and Oleksandr Nazarenko jumped on the second floor of the grenadiers of the guests, striking accurately with their heads, and Volodymyr Polovyi summed up by aiming at the "nine". 5: 0.

At the post-match press conference, Dmytro Mykhaylenko said that the big score reflects what was happening on the field. After all, his wards threatened the gates of Volyn twenty times, not allowing guests to create anything near their own. The coach paid tribute to Oleksandr Snizhko, who acted effectively on the left flank. It was also important to play compactly so that it was difficult for the guests to avoid high pressure.

Instead, Volyn manager Andriy Tlumak admitted that his wards had completely failed the match. Probably, these are the consequences of the cup confrontation in Beryslav with Tavriya Simferopol, where we had to spend 120 minutes on the field. According to the coach, Dnipro was fresher and, despite the fact that during the match Lutsk changed, it did not bring any dividends, because their physical condition was at a low level.

No less unexpected result was recorded in Kramatorsk, where the fate of the match was decided in the first half, when the avant-garde four times forced to surrender the goalkeeper of "Sumy". Dmitry Skoblov, who scored himself and assisted his partners three times, deserves praise among the winners. Oleksandr Kosevych's wards were to some extent rehabilitated for the unfortunate cup defeat in Kalush.

And finally - about the Western Ukrainian derby in Ivano-Frankivsk, where "Prykarpattia" hosted an inconvenient rival - "Movement". This time the hosts, who had nowhere to retreat, took the lead in their debut, when Yaroslav Konkolnyak from the edge of the penalty area accurately scored from the bottom. And although the guests attacked more in the future, dangerous moments more often occurred at their gates. Roman Dytko and Vasyl Tsyutsyura did not make face-to-face matches with the goalkeeper of the guests Oleksandr Ilyushchenkov. Thus, the victory of the Prykarpattia people should be recognized as deserved, and it allowed them to improve the negative statistics in the face-to-face battles with Rukh.
