Shakhtar women’s team head coach Roman Zaiev spoke about the victory over Vorskla (2-1)
– First of all, we understand that the situation at Vorskla Poltava is currently very difficult, half of the squad have left the team. The players who have remained are still a competitive side as shown by the results of their previous matches. We emphasised to the girls that the game could prove to be difficult.
– Did the weather affect the game?
– Yes, the weather had an impact as there was a strong wind and the halves were different. The first half was more difficult because we were also playing against the wind, and the goal we conceded at the end of the half was a result of the weather conditions. After the break, we focused on the fact that we had to come back if we have ambitions. The girls tried and did everything necessary to level the score. The first goal was the result of their desire, and the second was a reward for the effort the team showed throughout the match.
