In the central match of the 22nd round of the UPL, Kryvbas hosted LNZ at home.
First half
In the debut, the Kryvryhov team had more possession of the ball, but without any problems. Our guys spent a lot of time attacking, threatening the goal more often than the opponent. At the 13th minute, the game was suspended due to an air alarm. A little more than half an hour later, the match resumed. The break went in favor of the guests, who later seized the initiative.
At the 29th minute, the opponent managed to score, when Assinor scored effectively in a fall, but the goal was rightly disallowed due to offside. Gradually, the Kryvbas team leveled the game, took many corners, but the LNZ defense continued to act reliably. On the other hand, the opponent was remembered before the break… with two offsides.
Second half
In a fairly even game, the guests managed to score in the 57th minute. After an unfortunate mistake by Vilivald, Kravchuk went one-on-one and beat Kemkin – 0:1. “LNZ” acted very tightly and compactly in defense, so it was extremely difficult for “Kryvbas” to pass such redoubts. But the Cherkasy team later doubled its advantage. Again Kravchuk, again a tete-a-tete exit – 0:2.
The hosts, no matter what, continued to look for happiness in the attack, but again it was extremely difficult to pass the opponent’s dense defense. Long-range shots followed. Araujo made a great effort from afar – Palamarchuk pulled the ball out from under the crossbar with great difficulty. But the guests were lucky to score again. Nonikashvili realized his moment with a shot from close range – 0:3.
The Kryvyi Rih team went ahead until the last minute, hoping to change the course of the game, but today it did not work out. Sek had a great chance, shooting from close range, but the shot was blocked by a defender at the last moment. "LNZ" defeats "Kryvbas" for the first time in the history of the confrontations.
