Commentary of head coach of Oleksandriia Ruslan Rotan after the game against Shakhtar
– What are your general impressions of the match?
– We have a result. Maybe everyone is already used to and make fun of our draws. But draws with European class teams inspire the boys and show what they should strive for. If we want to play good football and be among the leaders of the Ukrainian League, we must play with such will, dedication and structure. This especially applies to the first half, when we played football, and I can say that Oleksandriia were a pleasure to watch. All is still yet to come. In the second half, unfortunately, we moved away a little and acted defensively, but I understand that there are several injuries and it is difficult for the boys to carry this burden after three days to the fourth. Now we have to focus on the next match, because in four days we have a meeting in Uzhhorod with Dnipro-1. The number one task is to recover and show a beautiful game, result, commitment, which we saw today. I can only compliment the boys.
