Azov team with bloodless squad rebuffed the opponent.
As part of the tenth round of the Ukrainian Championship, Rukh hosted Mariupol in Lviv. Because of the coronavirus, the Azov people came out with a somewhat unusual composition - Veleva, Kuliev and Ocheretko cannot be called the main performers. Also, Ostap Markevich was not in his usual place..
From the first minutes, Mariupol tried to seize territorial advantage, but it did not work to bring the matter to dangerous moments. We can only recall a shot from outside the penalty area, which Bandura coped with without any problems. Rukh, in turn, also responded with a dangerous moment, but Kudrik turned the ball for a corner after hitting from outside the penalty area.
In the middle of the first half of the game, Fedik's wards gave drums for a few minutes, but the ball never ended up in the opponent's goal. Kudrik coped with Martynyuk's kick and moved the ball to a corner, after which the goalkeeper of Mariupol has nothing to praise for - Oleg unsuccessfully left the gate, and Kondrakov punched his head on an empty goal, but missed.
Towards the end of the first half of the game, Rukh entrenched himself in the other half of the field, and Ostap Markevich's wards were counting on counter-attacks. There was also a free kick performed by Gorbunov, but he lacked a little accuracy. The teams left for a rest with a "
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Mariupol gave a good attack, but Tankovskiy shot wide of the target from within the penalty area. Ruhe answered somewhat more seriously.. Rusin did a great job with the ball in someone else's penalty area and shot it - after a ricochet the ball fell over the collar of Kudrik, but he coped. A little later, the hosts made another dangerous attack, but the goalkeeper parried the first blow, and the finishing move turned out to be inaccurate.
Towards the end of the match, the Mariupol players physically handed over. Ocheretko seized convulsions, Tankovsky was completely injured.
Nevertheless, the coaching staff made changes, and the team coped with the opponent's onslaught. Small pauses somewhat slowed down the pace of the game, and therefore dangerous moments did not arise. The final whistle of the referee recorded a draw.
