"Oleksandriya" - "Kryvbas" 4:2

Today, Kryvyi Rih Kryvbas, filling the forced break in the championship due to the international matches of the national teams, played an away control match against FC Oleksandria.

The teams sparred in the standard format of two 45-minute halves. It was raining all game, so the field was very slippery, and therefore it was difficult to show your best qualities to the opponents in such conditions. Nevertheless, we saw some spectacular football with plenty of goals scored.

The match started with active offensive actions of our team, in which Ndombazi finally made his debut. "Kryvbas" executed several corners, but the Alexandrians fought back. Instead, in the 12th minute, they launched their scoring attack. The opponent pushed Kuzyk on the wing, broke into the penalty area and shot at the goalkeeper.

Monday, after a push from Belyaev, accidentally hit his own goal - 1:0. The referee's whistle for some reason was silent and the goal was scored. The Kryvyi Rih team retaliated with several good attacks, at the end of which Drambaev and Ponedelnik scored from medium distances, but Yermakov was able to cope with the blows.

At the 26th minute, the hosts were lucky to score a second time. Romanchuk made a mistake in the center of the field, the ball was intercepted. A two-on-one attack was launched, which the opponent easily implemented. After the overhand pass, Kozak was ahead of Klischuk for a moment – 2:0. The people of Kryvyi Rih did not give up, but continued to look for happiness at someone else's gates.

Ponedelnyk, one of the most active members of the red-and-white team before the break, scored powerfully again, but Yermakov saved his team again. We wasted our best chance to score at least a goal in the first half later, when Tverdokhlib shot into the empty corner after a cross from the right, but weakly and the defender managed to knock the ball out of the goal line.

Kryvbas started the second half actively and immediately scored 2:1. The goal was scored by the substitute players: Bandeira executed a pass from the right - Kozhushko effectively punched into the far corner. Welcome back, Oleg! The game started on opposite sides: both teams had good chances, but the home team scored again.

After a pass from the left, Kulakov scored with a shot from the second floor in the 72nd minute - 3:1. "Kryvbas" responded in eight minutes, when Ponedelnik managed a cool kick from the standard under the crossbar - 3:2. Kryvyi Rih went forward to settle the score. Kozhuska had a good moment, but he shot much higher from the penalty area. Ponedelnik shot from the standard again, but this time - very inaccurately.

But the Alexandrians caught us in a blunder. Khoma, who went far beyond the penalty area, literally "gifted" the ball to the experienced Kovalets, who beat Bohdan and scored into an empty net - 4:2.
