“Miners” the veterans let themselves go considerably. Valeriy Shevluk’s team is going through the championship of Ukraine without point losses. At the third round of the tournament “miners” beat Illichevets – Veterans, and this match became somewhat like a mirror image of the previous match between these teams in Donetsk.

In the course of the match not all things were successful for Donetsk team. Having opened the score at the 4th minute of the match “miners” allowed the rival to score three times. Of course, Mariupol team remembered the defeat from Shakhtar in the previous round and did their best to even the score. But “miners’” character is famous for that Donetsk team is able to find a way out of the saddest situation. So, Shakhtar summoned its strength and less than in 30 minutes improved the situation in its favour.

Different goals were scored. We should mark out successful performance of Victor Djak who was successfully assisted by Hennadiy Orbu. In the first case Victor used Hennadiy’s upper service in full and opened the score of the match. And at the 72nd minute Orbu took Djak to the meeting with the goalkeeper by the counter pass. It was a technical matter for Victor Ivanovich to finish the goal combination. The fourth goal by “miners” was crucial, though accurate kicks performed by Gatylov, Leonov and Shforostov also played a great role.

In the next fourth round of the championship of Ukraine our veterans are to face FC Berdyansk on July 5.
