"Obolon" - "Kryvbas" 0:0

In the 19th round of the UPL, Kryvbas faced the local Obolon in Kyiv. We should note the debut of Senegalese Seck as a left winger, who immediately entered the starting lineup. After the suspension, Shevchenko returned to the center of midfield, and Kamensky remained on the bench.

First half

The debut of the game was an even fight. Many medium and long passes, and the first shot happened only in the 10th minute, when Jurcec, after a rebound, hit the ball above the goal. Still, Kryvbas had a minimal advantage. In the 18th minute, Bar Lin unexpectedly decided to shoot from the right flank after a free kick - he almost missed the far corner.

Obolon played mainly in the center of the field - almost not threatening Kemkin's goal. Kryvbas continued to attack, but we really lacked sharpness. With Paraco, the defenders were very tight, and our forward had minimal opportunities. We didn’t see any goals until the break, and, probably, this was generally a natural outcome of the match.

Second half

The second half of the game began with attacks from the red and whites. But the opponent created a half-moment instead: former Kryvyi Rih defender Semenov inaccurately shot from the second floor after a flank pass. Kryvbas later responded with an inaccurate shot by Bar Lin from outside the penalty area. And in the 61st minute, Fedorivskyi saved his team after a dangerous shot by Zaderaka.

In the middle of the half, Obolon was left in the minority after a rough foul by Moroz in the center of the field on Araujo. Unfortunately, a few minutes later our player still left the field due to injury. We hope that everything will be fine and Andrusw will return to the field soon. Health!

The red and whites did not stop for a moment, hoping for victory until the last. In the end, Jones could have brought us three points, who dared to take a powerful long-range shot, but hit the post. Herbert also scored brilliantly - Fedorivskyi pulled it from under the crossbar. But the opponent still held on to one point - 0:0.
