"Kudrivka" - "Kryvbas" 1:2

In the match of the 23rd round of the UPL, Kryvbas played away in Rivne against the debutant of the competition, FC Kudrivka. In the first round, we were stronger – 3:1. Among the interesting things about the starting lineup, we note the appearance of Kamenskyi in the defensive zone instead of Shevchenko, and Bekavac on the left in defense instead of Dibango.

First half

The beginning of the game was active from both teams. The opponents quickly exchanged half-moments performed by Kozak and Mendoza. Kemkin parried the opponent's difficult shot for a corner in the near corner. In the 8th minute, Villivald won the second floor after a high pass, but, unfortunately, it was higher than the goal.

Later, the nominal hosts Paraco and Bar Lin threatened the goal. Kryvbas took the advantage in these minutes. “Kudrivka” responded after some time after a shot by Nagnoynyi from a medium distance – above. The teams’ activity gradually paused. But in the 33rd minute we waited for the opponent’s mistake and opened the scoring.

Paraco robbed Serdiuk in the center of the field and ran one on one with the goalkeeper. Carlos shot from the edge of the penalty area exactly into the far corner – 0:1. This was the seventh goal of the Venezuelan forward in the “Kryvbas” shirt. By the end of the half, the Kudrivka team had several promising attacks and even scored, but Storchousa’s goal was disallowed due to a fair offside.

Second half

The second half began with Storchousa’s inaccurate shot from outside the penalty area. The game was even. Later, Mendoza dared to shoot from a medium distance after a mistake by the defenders – above the goal. “Kudrivka” tried to equalize the score after the free kicks. Collahuazo headed twice – very inaccurately.

Substitutions followed, which slowed down the already slow pace of the game. The opponent had a little more possession of the ball, because they were very eager to fight back, but our team acted reliably in defense. Until the 81st minute. Williwald and Jones “ate up” the entire second floor. We had a good moment for 0:2 when Mulyk, who came on as a substitute, hit the post after a pass from the left in the fight with the opponent.

Instead, “Kudrivka” still found its chance. Storchous scored from the 11-meter mark from under Jones – 1:1. But the ending remained with our team. After Dibango’s pass to the penalty area, Mulyk was fouled, but Shevchenko picked up the ball, who curled the ball over the goalkeeper – 1:2! Our pupil’s second goal in the UPL. There is a victory! On Easter. Congratulations to everyone on this success, by the way, the tenth in the season.
