According to experts, one of the most interesting quarterfinal confrontations of the Cup of Ukraine will take place in March in Chernihiv, where "Desna" will hold another elite team - "Vorskla".

- Oleksandr Ryabokon's wards can be called one of the discoveries of the current season, - said the head coach of "Vorskla" Yuri Maksimov in a comment to the official website of the UAF. - After all, Desna is a well-played, balanced team that has forced even the greats of Ukrainian football to reckon with itself. However, the highlight of the cup tournament is its unpredictability, when outsiders often become troublemakers and sometimes win a trophy. Because the cup draw has its own laws, and fighting spirit comes to the fore there. That is why, if Desna is in a better position, it is only because it accepts us at home.

By the way, I have fond memories of cup tournaments. After all, as a football player for Dynamo and Werder Bremen, I won the Cups of Ukraine and Germany, respectively, and when I became a coach, I won the Azerbaijan Cup with Cashley. So why not try to conquer the top with "Vorskla"?
