Gleiker Mendoza: The team gave it their all in the minority

Venezuelan midfielder of Kryvyi Rih Kryvbas Gleiker Mendoza spoke about the away match of the 12th round of the UPL against Lviv Karpaty - 0:1 on UPL TV.

- How did the team react to Kemkin's expulsion and what changed in the game after that?

- This is football, and such situations happen. Kemkin's expulsion was a difficult moment for the coach, because according to the rules, at least four Ukrainian players should have remained on the field. But it happened as it happened. We need to draw conclusions, forget about this episode and prepare for the next match. We will only be stronger.

- Do you have any comments on the refereeing?

- In football, there are different situations, and it's good that there is an opportunity to review moments using VAR. There are episodes when you can give a red card - this is part of the game. You need to stay focused and think about what will happen next.

- What was the coach's instruction during the break?

- To be focused from the first to the last minute, to stay charged with victory. Not to wait for us to score, but to react quickly to every moment and fight until the end.

- Did we lack the physical strength to put pressure on the opponent and equalize the score?

- We gave it our all. We didn't just want to equalize the score, but to win. In football, the result can always be unpredictable, but we must set ourselves exclusively for victory every time.
