And why? Because the team, led by Marino Pushich, took the third place in the championship in the past campaign, and only through success in the Cup of Ukraine has the right to participate in the League of Europe, not in the League of Conferences. They could start from a group round, but it would be too expensive for the Pitmen after the failure of the past campaign.
And so it all began with July 10 with the first part of a duel against the first in the history of Shakhtar rival from Finland – Ilves, who is not too baptized with vivid speeches in the international arena, and therefore to get as the first opponent, a team of such a level as Shakhtar, with the ambitious Arda Turbon, was too tighter to be too tight.
As a result, what did we see this evening? Everyone was worried about the game that in Finland in the middle of the summer football and is in full swing, while our players need to be detached from their rest on vacation. But this factor of Ilves did not in any way help, because you can mark the desire to press the opponent in his half in the first seconds, but what is worth it if the integrity of the game is lacking simply because the difference in skill is too noticeable.
There is no direct culprit in what the score of this part of the duel was. Shakhtar simply wrapped his opponents in the middle of the first half to the mistake of someone else’s penalty, which took advantage of Alysson from the transfer of Kevin, and then the Miners scored from the angle, which at all had to make the most dangerous weapon for the Finns. But Alysson filed before a break into Elias from the right flank, and the advantage of the Donetsk people doubled.
The apathy of the team of Joonas Rantanen was not observed even in the second half, which she began with a failure during throwing from depth to Alisson, who squeezed the defender at speed and went out on a date with the goalkeeper.
And in the middle of the second half, the restless Brazilian gave Alavordi Kevin, but though only with the help of the UEFA’s official resource, because to calculate the unsuccessful attempt to transfer the ball over the goalkeeper for a goal pass on a partner still needs to be managed. But the global meaning did not carry this statistical indicators this evening – Alysson with a reserve and was so better on the field on both teams.
And then he added another assist to the expense, but already quite legitimate when he rolled into the right flank of another’s penalty on Pedrignyo da Silva, and he planted a powerful blow to the near nine. Perhaps the best in this round of the first matches to know. Well, the non -arton added at the end of the game, when Ilves’s players unexpectedly turned out to be too tone to endure at least 0: 5 to the final defeat.
The second part of the duel will take place in the week, July 17, on the artificial field of Finnish Ilves.
