The match against Kolos U19 is crucial for us because they are strong and ambitious opponents
Oleksandr Yushchenko, midfielder:
– The match against Kolos U19 is crucial for us because they are strong and ambitious opponents. After the rest, we started training and analysed their play, but it should be noted that success depends primarily on ourselves. I’m sure that the boys had a good rest and regained their strength during the international break, which is very important ahead of the decisive stretch of the first stage.
Opponents
Last season, the Kovalivka-based team gained 50 points and finished 4th in the table, marking the highest achievement in the club's history in the U19 Championship (15 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses, goal difference: 45-39).
Kolos U19 began their preparations for the new season in Kyiv Oblast in mid-June, before heading to a training camp in Zolochiv in July. During the pre-season, Yevgen Novak's outfit had a packed schedule of friendly matches (2 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses) and conducted active scouting efforts.
Before the match against Shakhtar U19, the Kovalivka team are 3rd in the tournament table with 23 points (7 wins and 2 draws, goal difference: 26-7), the unbeaten streak at the competitive level has already lasted 10 matches. The top scorer is Artem Husol (5 goals in 7 matches).
Match background
The teams met 8 times in the Youth League: 5 victories of the Miners, 2 draws, with Kolos U19 winning 1 game.
Previous meeting
On March 7, the opponents locked horns at the Kolos TC. As early as the 7th minute, the Pitmen orchestrated a fluid attack down the flank, followed by a shift to the penalty area, where Pushkarov finished off Kniaziev's pass. The Orange-and-Blacks continued to dominate, not giving Kolos U19 an opportunity to equalize. At the beginning of the second half, Shakhtar U19 doubled their lead through Losenko, who successfully finished Yushchenko's pass. The opponents responded with a dangerous chance: Tryhuba went one-on-one, but Bahlai blocked the attempt. Late in the game, he tempo slowed due to mutual fouls, with the ball predominantly remaining in the midfield. Result: 2-0 in favour of Shakhtar U19.
