In the Cup of Ukraine-2017/In 2018, Mariupol players made it to the semifinals, where they lost to the future owner of the honorary trophy - Shakhtar. Now, after victory over "Olympic", Azov already got 1/4.

- There are no favorites in the cup tournament, because there are laws, - said the head coach of "Mariupol" Alexander Babych, commenting on the official website of the UAF during the confrontation with "Olympic". - Here and in our match in "Mariupol" there was an advantage of the field, the higher place in the tournament table of an elite division, and game appeared equal. You know, I'm used to my wards wasting away moments, it's our vulnerable place, but I was unpleasantly surprised that threatening situations often arose at our gates. Therefore, a serious analysis of flights with wards can not be avoided. Fortunately, Donetsk residents also had problems with implementation.

By the way, we met with "Olympic" in a calendar match in September, and it should be said that the wards of Vicente Gomez have recently added significantly. I liked how they got out of the pressure, how they began to appreciate the ball, adopting short and medium gears. It was all the more pleasant to win in such a difficult confrontation.

Since the quarterfinal matches will take place next year, I haven't thought about potential rivals yet. Although, frankly, at this stage I would not like to clarify the relationship with the Kiev "Dynamo" «
