Lviv "Karpaty" started their cup campaign with a victory over the football players of AF "Kyiv" with a score of 3: 0.

"It was a real cup match," Karpaty head coach Andriy Tlumak said in a comment to the official UAF website. - The young Kyiv team was remembered for its fighting spirit, it was well prepared for the confrontation, and although the level of training of my wards was higher, it took a lot of effort to win.

Only in the second half, when the actions of the guests were already affected by fatigue, free zones began to appear in their defense, which we took advantage of. To some extent, we were helped by the goalkeeper of Kyiv, who often made mistakes.

I will pay tribute to my wards, who clearly followed the plan for the game. Benefits and replacements, and it helped to tilt the scales to his side.

Now we will wait for tomorrow's draw. It is possible that our next opponent will be a representative of the first league. So, there will be an opportunity to see what the Carpathians are really worth. We do not hide that we have ambitious goals. "
