Obolon head coach Alexander Antonenko commented on a zero draw against the dawn in the UPL match. The mentor congratulated the opponent on the result and noted both teams for a quality game.

“The result, I think, is natural. I congratulate the dawn with this score. A very good team, very high quality players. But we also have good football players,” Antonenko said.

Antonenko praised the young goalkeeper Vadim Stashkiv, who spent his first match as a basis:

“We want to congratulate Stashkiv. He has been working with us for a long time. Today, before the game, we decided to trust him – and did not regret it. He had a very confident match. We supported him, said that mistakes happen, but most importantly – not to be upset and act confidently. He did everything.”

Obolon’s mentor explained why new faces appeared in the starting composition:

“We have players who can play qualitatively for every position. Some have already tired, so they decided to freshen up the composition.

Antonenko also told about the state of Nazari Fedorovsky’s main goalkeeper:

“Nazar has not dropped for a long time. He got a blow in the match with the Carpathians – a injury to the shoulder joint. We decided to give him a rest.
