Comments after the match of the 1st round of the second stage of the Higher League of the Women's Championship of Ukraine 2025\2026 Women "Kryvbas" - Women "EMS-Podillya" (4:1).
Kostiantyn Frolov, head coach of Women "Kryvbas":
- A difficult match for us, a difficult victory. In the end, we played our football, which we want to see from the girls, and it was not easy for us for all 90 minutes. Apparently, the girls did not recover after the previous match. The opponent was also seriously tuning in to us, so somewhere, perhaps, we did not manage to play the football that we strive for. But the most important thing is that there is a victory, so we move on. We allowed the opponent to do a lot on the football field, missed an unfortunate goal that we should not have missed. And we lost many goals at the beginning of the attacks, so somewhere we lacked quality and freshness.
Iryna Kozub, defender of Women Kryvbas:
- I want to say thank you to the team for believing in victory after the opponents equalized the score. I came on in the second half and still we managed to score this important goal, and the team won. I congratulate the whole team. The previous game against this opponent was a little easier, we started acting as planned from the very beginning. Today, the first half was not very successful for us. At halftime, we talked among ourselves, agreed to be more focused and more focused on the goal, so it helped us a lot.
