Comments after the match of the 15th round of the UPL 2025\2026 youth championship "Kryvbas" U-19 - "Oleksandria" U-19 - 3:1.

Antoni Mascaro, head coach of FC Kryvbas U-19:

- We are satisfied with today's match. We understand that it is not easy to play on an artificial pitch. The game plan was high pressure. In the first half, the guys managed to implement it, and I am happy with it. In the second half, we won 3:1, and the guys did not want to take risks, so they played less actively. Overall, we scored three points, and I am satisfied with the team's performance.

We could have been better in attacks and ball handling, but I saw how the guys competed today. Overall, I notice the team's progress and the changes that have occurred during this time. I am very pleased to work with this team, we have become more friendly. We are also ready to fight and win. We are happy that we finished the first round of the season with three points - it is great.

Oleksandr Gladkov, midfielder of FC Kryvbas U-19:

- Good game; I'm glad we managed to get three points. We controlled the ball until the break, and in the second half there was more struggle, but we managed to get three important points. The opponent put up a good fight against us, created a lot of problems. But still, today we were stronger.

Matvii Bodnar, forward of FC Kryvbas U-19:

- I won't say it was easy. After all, in the second half the opponent played more actively and could have scored more. But our team is good, I'm proud of them. We persevered and won. Not everything worked out, because we could have scored much more at the same time, but in principle the result is good. I'm very happy to score for the red and whites. I'm happy to help Kryvbas U-19 win, that's the most important thing.
