Defeating Dynamo in Schaslyve

- I gave them the game plan to focus on the defensive play, to play tightly, to move and help one another. We tried to intercept the ball and launch some blistering counterattacks, that's exactly how we scored after the break, - pointed out the Shakhtar U15 coach Henadii Zubov. - Psychology came to the fore. The guys coped with that: they conceded the return goal in the end of the meeting, but at the same time they were more stable mentally. We were ready for the penalty shootout, where our players did not fail. Confidence is acquired in the training process. This result is a reward for the work throughout the season. Well done, congrats to everyone on the victory! And it’s doubly pleasant that several Academy teams have become champions this year.
