The first semifinalist of the Cup of Ukraine-2019/2020 was the first-league "Minai", which in a series of 11-meter won over Ingults.

- You know, on the eve of the match I had a dream that we will beat Ingulets in a series of post-match penalties, - said the head coach of Zakarpattia Vasyl Kobin in a comment to the official website of the UAF. - That's why we devoted a lot of time to performing 11-meter throws during the last trainings. In the end, I entrusted the place in the goal to Andriy Popovych, who feels confident during the shots from the 11-meter mark. And he proved to be the best - not only beat the guests in duels three times, but also scored himself…

However, today all my wards acted wonderfully. As we were preparing for the season in Turkey, in fact, next to "Ingulec", it was possible to study well the strengths and vulnerabilities of this original team. And I think that the guys performed the installation and controlled the situation on the field. Only after the missed, in my opinion, not quite logical ball we lacked cohesion for a few minutes, but with the support of the fans we were able to believe in our strength again. The Minaya footballers are really writing history, and we want to hope that reaching the semifinals is not the limit yet.
