In the 16th round of the Ukrainian Premier League, Mariupol beat Vorskla in his field.
"Glad to have achieved a positive result. With Vorskla, we usually have very difficult matches.. Games are held in a bitter struggle and usually a little bit. If we take the statistics, then minimal wins and draws probably prevail ", - Babich is quoted by the official website of Mariupol.
"We understood that we played against the bronze medalist and participant in the group stage of the Europa League. Therefore, I wanted to achieve a positive result.. I think we deserved the victory ".
"The game turned out to be viscous. Both we and Vorskla are able to defend and play on the counterattack. Based on the nature of the game, the game probably went to a goal - the team that would open the score, brought the match to victory. It happened with us. So in the end it turned out. We scored, then the opponent began to open up and we created another 2-3 good scoring chances..
We had to implement them and calmly bring the game to the end. Nevertheless, I am glad that the guys show character in such difficult conditions. I am also glad that we were able to defeat Vorskla, an uneasy opponent for us, and break the negative series of games with Poltava ”.
"I would like to wish Vorskla luck in the Europa League. On Thursday, Poltava residents will have to hold a match against London Arsenal - we wish them to achieve a positive result ".
