Head coach of Metalist 1925 Mladen Bartulovich commented on his team’s victory over Kudrivka (1:0) in the 24th round of the UPL.

The mentor noted that the duel between the two is not easy due to the heavy schedule and the organized team of the opponent in defense:.

The matches with Dynamo Kiev and Veres took away a lot of emotions. The match against Kudrivka was also an important match - it was not such a extravaganza as the one against Veres, but the opponent had a lot of success in defense, and it was not easy to score earlier. I decided to make some money - the game could have turned out differently.

According to Bartulovich, in the other half, the team completely controlled the progress of the game:.

In the other half, I respect you, we deservedly prevailed: we squeezed in the entire half, created chances and could have scored earlier. For us, the most important thing is worth three points.

The coach also paid attention to personnel rotation after an hour of preparation:.

After the match on Wednesday, we had a lot of intensive training on Thursday and Friday - there was no improvement. Today we carried out a rotation. Kudrivka is still on her mission to score points, otherwise we deserve more to win - we wanted to score, attacked and achieved ours.

After this victory, Metalist 1925 gained a foothold on the fourth junction of the UPL, with 44 salivary points..
