Lviv Carpathians finally held their first official match more than a month after the restart of the UPL. The team of Roman Sanzhar met with compatriots from PFC Lviv. The base of the nominal hosts consisted mainly of young players, so their chances of winning were very vague. On the other hand, nominal guests held only the first match under the leadership of a new head coach - Georgy Tsetsadze. Georgian specialist made it clear that his team will play mainly on the attack, wielding the ball most of the time.
The Carpathians took possession of the game advantage at the beginning of the meeting, but did not threaten the opponent’s goal, quickly giving him the initiative. Lvov could immediately lead in the account after the impact of the Tire, but Kudrik managed to close the distance and saved his team. A few minutes later, Bopes could score a direct shot from the box, but he lacked accuracy. Further, the wards of Tsetsadze continued to control the game, occasionally completing attacks with shots on goal, but they did not carry a real threat to Kudrik. Wards Sanzhar several times could catch the nominal guests on the counterattack, but the defense of Lviv did not allow to strike at their goal.
Lviv pressed the opponent with great forces on the alien half of the field, which ultimately paid off. In the 36th minute, Sabino robbed Kozak and not too well shot on goal, but he was helped by a rebound from Giorgadze, after which the ball rolled into the net - 0: 1. A little later, Alvaro could double his team’s advantage with a direct free-kick, but the Brazilian didn’t succeed. Literally right away, Khakhlev made a huge gift to the opponent, leaving his team in a numerical minority after the second yellow card received. Before the break, Lviv tried to manage to take advantage of the majority, but did not create a single dangerous moment.. The teams went to rest with the minimum advantage of the Tsetsadze team.
At the disposal of Lviv was a whole second half in the numerical majority. They could not only bring matters to victory, but also score at least one more goal. However, Sanjar's team was able to impose a serious fight on the opponent. Despite the fact that the nominal guests owned the ball more, the Carpathians were sharper ahead. They ran well in attacks, one of which led to a goal. Substitute Grandfather restored parity by closing the jewelry supply of Tanchik - 1: 1. And two minutes later Runich could even bring his team forward, circling Sarnavsky, but his strike was a little lacking in accuracy.
After some time, Lviv completely took the ball under his control, trying to fix the situation.. Wards of Tsetsadze attacked after attack, but not one of them ended with a aimed shot on goal. Kudrik did not have serious work, because his defense acted very reliably. The same can be said about the protection of nominal guests, who did not allow opponents to hit on goal. At the end of the match Lviv went ahead with great strength and still could snatch victory, but Priymak did not get on goal from a favorable position. The Tsetsadze team did not manage to squeeze the opponent, so the teams were forced to be content with a draw. The Carpathians held the first match in a long time at a more or less decent level, not losing to the opponent in functional and technical terms.
