Match build-up

Shakhtar women’s footballers made a confident start to the season, claiming an away victory over Pantery Uman (3-1). Captain Viktoriia Holovach opened the scoring as early as the 7th minute, not only in the match but in the entire league, before forward Nadiia Chaika scored a brace. The team trained as usual during the week at the Academy facility in Shchaslyve ahead of the meeting with Kolos.

Opponents

Kolos finished last season as bronze medallists with 43 points, earning the right to take part in the first round of the newly created European Cup. Liudmyla Pokotylo’s side prepared for the season at the club’s base in Kovalivka, playing friendlies against Pantery (2-0, 4-1) and the Free Agents XI (8-0).

Kolos started the new season with a high-scoring draw against Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih (1-1), with the only goal against the opponents scored by Karina Lespukh. It is worth noting that the squad underwent significant changes in the summer: Mariana Ivanyshyn, Iryna Maiborodina, Anastasiia Voronina, Tetiana Kytaieva, Nadiia Kunina, Veronika Andrukhov and Iryna Sanina all left the team.
