The main hero of this confrontation was the forward of the Ukrainian national team Vladyslav Vanat, who converted two penalties and completed a double.
“We had a fantastic match, especially in the first half, in terms of controlling the game. “Espanyol” is pressing very aggressively and going forward. We made them look back, which is usually not an easy thing to do.
They press well, but we often had the ball in the opponent’s half. The first half was great. We lacked the finishing touch, but Espanyol’s defense played at the highest level.
In the second half, they became even better, especially in the selection of the ball, but we also improved our game in defense. They are the team that has scored the most goals with headers, they have a lot of crosses and excellent players in the penalty area. We managed to limit their chances. We did a lot to win.
The victories in four out of five matches became possible due to the coordinated work of the team, the main protagonists are the players who took a step forward. I was told that we are in ninth place.
Vanat? Everything is fine with him. I was about to replace him as I saw him touch his leg. However, he said he was fine. Just tired of the load and stress.”
