Match build-up

The beginning of the decisive part of the season was difficult for the Orange-and-Blacks: defeats by Kolos (0-3), Metalist 1925 (0-4) and Seasters (1-3) left the team with practically no chance in the fight for the prize-winning places of the championship. The Miners gained 14 points in 13 rounds and are currently 5th in the standings.

During the international break, Shakhtar women’s team were preparing for the game against Ladomyr at the Academy facility in Shchaslyve. It should be noted that midfielders Lidiia Zaborovets, Yelyzaveta Maslovska and Anastasiia Liakhovych were at the training camp of Ukraine WU19.

Mariia Vykaliuk, midfielder:

– The game against Ladomyr is extremely important for us, because our goal is to get a positive result and the necessary points. It is known that the opponent’s squad is very young and promising, which is why I am sure that the game will be intense and interesting. We have been preparing for the meeting with Ladomyr for two weeks, so we know how to act to achieve our goal.

Previous meeting

On August 7, 2024, Shakhtar opened the season with a match against Ladomyr in Shchaslyve. The teams started the game at a leisurely pace, so there was almost no intensity near the goal in the opening stages. Towards the end of the first half, the opponents exchanged effective attacks: the Orange-and-Blacks responded to a well-placed shot by Stets with Chendei’s goal. In the second half, the Miners acted as leaders and constantly threatened Novikova’s goal. Ladomyr focused on counterattacks and took advantage of almost the only opportunity in the second half: Stets went one on one after a turnover from Shakhtar’s defence. It did not take long for the Miners to level the score: Vykaliuk equalised with an accurate penalty kick. The referee’s final whistle recorded a draw – 2-2.
