Ingulets head coach Serhiy Lavrynenko, whose wards are quite unexpected in the quarterfinals of the Ukrainian Cup have taken the plunge over the elite "Carpathians", commented on the official website of the FFU the results of the draw the next round, where the team from Petrov will compete with Luhansk "Zorya":

- You know, at this stage of the cup tournament there can be no weak opponents a priori. We got "Zorya" - one of the most stable domestic teams in recent years, which is popular among fans due to the desire to demonstrate a combination of attacking football. And the fact that Luhansk will still find out the relations in the Premier League with Shakhtar Donetsk before our match should not be misleading. I remember when Zorya's players recently played in the Europa League, this did not prevent them from winning spectacular victories in the Ukrainian championship after matches on the international arena.

And yet "Ingulets" has a chance to give battle to the famous counterpart. And not only because we will accept it in our native walls. We still have enough time to properly prepare and approach the arrival of Zorya in the Kirovohrad region in full force. Just like my wards did in the quarterfinals with Karpaty, having completely completed the setup and, I think, outplayed their experienced opponent. And if there were any claims against them, it was only because they didn't win in the main time…
