In the match of the 5th round Prem'air league, which took place on August 24, Vorskla players under the leadership of the new manager Vitaly Kosovsky inflicted the first defeat on Kolos.

And although the blacksmiths continue to occupy the highest positions in the championship, in the Cup of Ukraine Poltava are playing away again took over "Colossus"which allowed them to win a pass to the quarterfinals.

- Frankly, I do not care about statistics, - said the head coach of "Vorskla" Vitaly Kosovsky, commenting on the official website of the UAF the course of the cup confrontation with "Kolos". - In general, the concept of "comfortable opponent" is relative. You still need to go out on the football field and prove that you are stronger. We took this match very seriously, used almost the optimal lineup and, in my opinion, played more to win than the hosts.

This twist is, first and foremost, important to us in the psychological aspect, because I hope it will help us to believe in ourselves again. Especially after the last one a devastating defeat in the championship from "Dawn". It is gratifying that the decisive ball is on the account of young Yuri Kozyrenko. He came on as a substitute, found himself in the right place and scored his debut goal, which turned out to be so important for Vorskla. This proves that we can safely count on change.

Since the main thing for us now is to get out of the relegation zone in the championship as soon as possible, I haven't thought about who we can play with next spring in the Cup quarterfinals. After all, at this stage there are no weak opponents, so everything will depend on the settings and skills.
