Kryvyi Rih FC "Kryvbas" held another control match at the summer training and the first international in its history, parting ways in Poland with the country's vice-champion - ZFK "Hurnik".
The beginning of the meeting remained with the team of Konstantin Frolov. The Kryvyi Rih girls actively pressed the opponents in their half, used the flanks a lot and tried to find Cynthia, who was active with penetrating passes. So, in the 20th minute, Violeta Tian was released from custody and found herself alone on the right flank of the attack, but her cross did not find the addressee. An identical episode occurred in a few minutes on the opposite flank already performed by Diana Belyakova.
But by the middle of the half, the home team seized the initiative and launched a series of sharp attacks. Kelyushik demonstrated her class several times in the frame, hitting powerful mid-range shots. But at the 27th minute, the Poles forced Daria to capitulate.
Green and black played a dangerous free kick and our goalkeeper brilliantly reacted to a powerful shot from 18 meters, moving the ball sideways to the left flank, but the player "Hurnik" was the first to pick up, who made a cross into the center of the penalty area, from where the attacker Veronika Koda in the fight with rivals, she was able to slip the ball into the goal - 1:0.
"Kryvbas" was able to fight back almost immediately: Aleksanyan intercepted the ball in the other half of the field and made a pass into the penalty area to Musunga, Cynthia rolled further to Belyakova, who handled the ball with the first touch, and with the second powerful shot from the penalty area - m' the goal whistled over the nine goals... The whistle for the break recorded the minimum advantage of "Hurnik" in the score.
In the second half, the Polish team changed the entire composition, giving the opportunity to young performers to show themselves, and the picture on the field changed. Now the girls from Kryvyi Rih had a significant advantage and one after another created moments in the home team's goal. The most noticeable in the attack of Frolov's team was Cynthia Musungu, who not only constantly twisted several opponents due to dribbling, but also repeatedly threatened the opponent's goal with long shots.
In the 75th minute, the red and whites had two 82% opportunities to equalize the score, but at first the defender of "Hurnik" prevented Belyakova from hitting the empty net, and in the next attack, Mahira, finding herself on the finish line, punched right into the goalkeeper's hands. Nevertheless, the advantage of "Kryvbas" could not but end with a goal. And it came from the standard: Yanchuk converted a penalty for a foul on Basanska. It happened in the XNUMXnd minute - 1:1.
Our girls could and should have won, but the banal football rule worked: "the one who earned the penalty should not take it!". After a free kick from Polina Yanchuk, the ball hit the defender's hand, and the referee pointed to the mark for the second time.
Kryvbas 10 was again entrusted with the penalty shootout, but this time the goalkeeper of "Hurnik" guessed the intention of the attacker and was able to transfer Poli's shot to a corner. Immediately after that, the referee blew the final whistle.
1:1 - a great match in Poland and great emotions from all participants. We thank the "Hurnik" team for the game and look forward to new meetings!
