Vorskla coach Oleksandr Omelchuk reflects on the match against Shakhtar
“We approached the game with big problems due to the coronavirus. We lost four players before the game against Oleksandriia, and now three more guys have fallen ill, plus this also affected the coaching staff and the administration. Nevertheless, the team were full of desire. We took the U19 lads to extend the bench. We looked pretty good against Shakhtar. Before the flash interview, even Grachov said that the second yellow card wasn’t the case. It's a pity, as it was a great festival, with more than 12 thousand people gathering to support us. The guys wanted not to lose face. Unfortunately, maybe we haven’t got enough strength. It’s difficult to play 11 vs 11 with Shakhtar, it's hard to resist them with just ten men virtually for three-fourths of full time. All the same, the guys did well. So we move on and get ready for the Cup tie.”
