The game program of the sixteenth round continued Vorskla and Mariupol. From the first minutes of the team did not set the highest pace of the game. Quickly enough, the hosts created the moment when Vakula moved to the center and shot into the near corner - Shust was ready. Poltava responded with a strike from an acute angle from Kolomoitsy, but Galkchuk rescued the team.

Vorskla pursed the enemy in the middle of the half, the hosts with great difficulty coming out to attack. In addition, Sapay punched on equipment from the penalty line - Galchuk wisely chose the position and managed. Closer to the break, the pace of the game calmed down, and Babic’s players pushed the game away from their gates.. The teams went to rest with a “dry” score..

In the debut of the second half, Vasily Sachko had to make two forced replacements, which clearly was not part of the coach’s plans. Moreover, the guests missed the goal - Alexander Zubkov swung the enemy in the penalty area and shot precisely into the far corner of the goal. 1: 0. After that, the segment turned out, when Dmitry Kutakov showed himself through yellow cards - teams played inaccurately.

Poltavans were very active in moving forward, but it was quite difficult to crack the opponent’s compact defense. You can recall the moment when Mikhail Sergiychuk received the ball in a foreign penal and immediately broke through - the bar helped out Mariupol. Somewhat later, Vorskla earned a dangerous free kick, but Sakiv with his blow checked the wall for strength.

The final whistle of the referee fixed the hosts victory.
