Midfielder of Kryvyi Rih "Kryvbas" Denys Pidhurskyi commented on the home match of the 5th round of the UPL against Kolos from Kovalivka - 2:2.
- We had more initiative, had many chances to score, but did not realize them. How did it happen that "Kolos" in the minority managed to equalize the score?
- This is football, this happens. But we definitely had no right to let such a victory go today. We controlled everything: there were good moments both before the opponent's red card and after it. We had to score the third goal and calmly bring the match to its logical conclusion. Unfortunately, somewhere we played unconcentrated in defense and conceded the second goal. However, we are not lowering our heads.
- Today, set pieces played a significant role - we could see the combinations played when the attack players gathered at the far post and ran into the goal area. In the end, this led to your goal. Is the club now putting a special emphasis on set pieces?
- Of course, we are working hard on this element. Many goals in modern football are scored after set pieces, so we pay a lot of attention to them every week. Today's game showed that it works: we scored from a set piece, although, on the other hand, we did not work well near our own goal and conceded. It is difficult to judge unequivocally about the first goal conceded - in my opinion, there was a handball there, I don't know why the referees counted it, but we have what we have.
