After the match of the eleventh round of the championship of the UPL against the Carpathians, which ended in a draw, head coach of Mariupol Alexander Babich answered questions from journalists.

- Today we lost two points. Definitely lost. We owned the whole game. In the first half, it was impossible to open the defense of the Carpathians, as the opponent filled his defense, and we made the wrong decisions. During the break, we corrected the game of defensive midfielders and backers. And it worked.. In football, it happens - about three very good moments we did not score. I can not say about the unassigned penalty in the second half. He was absolutely! What are the side judges guided by raising flags in such situations? If he does not have time for the moment, then, probably, it is necessary to “drive” them more. The cleanest penalty. Our winger Churko worked great with the ball, but for some reason the side decided to raise the flag to the goalkeeper’s cry. We completely outplayed the opponent. And the fact that at the end of the game, Fedetsky asked for a replacement, says that we exhausted the opponent with our attacking actions.. I do not remember that in the second half at our gate there was a dangerous moment.

- Ruslana Fomin today was not enough?.

- Yes, when Ruslan is there, we are playing more and more aggressively ahead.. But the same Boryachuk today worked great.

But having Fomin, we could use both him and Boryachuk at the same time.. Today I have no complaints about the game.. All were aimed at the gates of the Carpathians. Each attack player had a moment.. Today we did not have one - a goal to win.

At the moment, Mariupol is the fifth in the standings with fourteen points..
