Artem Savin, head coach:
– Despite the scoreline, UFK Kryvbas are important opponents for us. The boys showed character by scoring five goals and I would like to thank them for that. Perhaps we did not expect such a result, but it is a reflection of the team spirit and character that have grown significantly stronger over the past six months. There was also great support at the match – parents and friends were there for the players, which made it a little easier to play. The idea of holding the Super Cup and the organisation were at a good level, and this provides additional motivation.
