"Karpaty" - "Kryvbas" 1:0

In the 12th round of the UPL, Kryvbas played away against Karpaty. It was one of the most interesting confrontations of the Ukrainian football weekend. As for the starting lineup, Dibango returned, replacing Bekavac on the left in defense, Rojas replaced the suspended Vilivald in center defense. Araujo returned to the starting lineup instead of Shevchenko, and Kamenskyi appeared on the field for the first time in the season from the first minutes, on the right in midfield.

First half

Karpaty started the game very actively, and even scored after Krasnopir's shot, but the referees, albeit late, fixed an offside. The home team's initial pressure led to a quick expulsion of Kryvbas. Paulo Vitor was taken out one-on-one, Kemkin came out of the goal, but fouled an opponent outside the penalty area.

Red card for Oleksandr, Kryvbas in the minority. Our team was rebuilding. Paraco left the field, and Mendoza took his place at the top. Lviv dominated the field for the most part until the end of the half. They created chances, now Makhankov was the one who shot on goal, but Volodymyr repeatedly saved the Kryvyi Rih team.

Our goalkeeper made three real saves after Paulo Vitor's sharp shots. Our defense acted very selflessly and managed to keep the goal intact. 0:0 – halftime. As for Kryvbas' attacks, they were infrequent, and we, as a minority, were unable to create problems for the opponent in the first half.

Second half

The second half of the game began with a half-moment performed by the guests. Tverdokhlib shot from the second floor from a good position, but hit Sych. On the other hand, Karpaty managed to score in their attack in response. Bruninho shot from mid-range, the ball flew to Makhankov, our goalkeeper decided to play with his fists, but played uncertainly, and the ball flew into the goal - 1:0.

Karpaty continued to have the advantage, but their attacks were no longer so dangerous. The guests tried to conduct their counterattacks at the first opportunity. Kryvbas also made several corner and flank passes. Unfortunately, the forward team lacked sharpness today.

The end of the match took place in the home team's half of the field. Kryvbas even tried to save the game when they were outnumbered, but unfortunately we didn't succeed. Although there were moments. Already in the compensation time, Zaderaka headed into the near corner after a pass from the right - Domchak saved the home team from a goal. We are losing 0:1.
