In the penultimate match of the first half of the season, Kryvbas hosted Oleksandria at home. Patrick van Leeuwen entrusted the place in the main squad to all those who played a week ago against Shakhtar.
First half
From the first minute, the Kryvryzh team took the lead. Both flanks worked actively, the passes were sharp, in short, the goal was coming. But it was only in the middle of the half that they managed to score. Mykytyshyn rushed down the left flank, made a cross to the goal line - Parako accurately hit it into the touch - 1:0!
The red-and-whites continued to have the advantage. Oleksandria almost did not threaten our goal. Before the break, the opponent was remembered only by a few inaccurate long-range shots. Our team had at least a few more chances to score, but they were unlucky in the final stages.
Second half
The second half of the game began with the long-awaited second goal. Yurczets accelerated on the flank and rolled the ball under the blow of Tverdokhlib - Yegor twisted it exactly into the far corner - 2:0. Soon, Kryvbas' attacks led to the third goal! Araujo provided an assist to the active Mykytyshyn. Artur managed a great shot into the far corner - 3:0.
The red-whites were unstoppable today. Kamenskyi entered the game brilliantly from the bench, Parako effectively passed through him while falling, Araujo could have scored too, but Makarenko saved Oleksandria in all these moments.
The guests created only two chances of their own in the second half. When after Tsary's pass, Hussein made a good shot, but Makhankov saved it by turning the ball into the post, and after the tete-a-tete, Buletsy Volodymyr played flawlessly again. We win 3:0!
