ZFK "Linköping" - ZFK "Kryvbas" 3:0

Kryvyi Rih FC "Kryvbas" played its second and final match in this year's Champions League. Today, the red and whites lost to the vice-champion of Sweden - "Linköping".

In the previous match, the Swedes conceded to the strong "Arsenal" in the fight, conceding only in the second half, so it was clear that the wards of Konstantin Frolov were in for a difficult match. And so it happened: the hostesses seized the initiative from the first minutes. Rivals conducted many sharp attacks in the first half, when only Kelyuszyk's skill saved Kryvbas from problems.

Instead, the red and whites should have scored after several good counterattacks, but unfortunately there were some problems in the finish. At the end of the half, Linköping's pressure led to the first goal against the guests. Abam was lucky to receive the ball in the penalty area and rolled it into the far corner - 1:0.

The referee added 11 minutes to the first half due to the delay: at the beginning of the meeting, Songkeng, while kicking the ball out, hit one of the referee's assistants in the face, and she had to provide help for a long time. In the first compensated minute, the hosts were lucky to score a second time. Momiki made a great catch on the leg after a cross pass from her partner – 2:0.

The second half was even more difficult for our team. Unfortunately, even with the departure of Yanchuk, the situation on the field has not changed fundamentally. In the 65th minute, Abam made a double after a shot from close range - 3:0. "Kryvbas" had several good attempts to score the debut goal in the Champions League, but it did not work out.

We would like to thank our team for participating and for the debut. "Kryvbas" This is Us!
