Kiev Obolon beat Lviv Rukh in the home match of the eighteenth round of the Ukrainian Premier League.
Obolon - Rukh 1:0 Video of the goal and review of the UPL match After the completion of the match, head coach of the Brewers Oleksandr Antonenko commented on the similar signs of the beginning of the year, if the match of his team on the Oleksandriya field was affected.
“To be honest, this situation is even absurd and unacceptable. It’s clear that the super team didn’t properly prepare their field, but for this reason I want to call Obolon itself for the match. This is important to explain - you can only guess why this is happening.
If the delegates and the match referee praise the decision to tie the game, then everything is perfectly understood by the judges. We were asked only one thing: who will testify for graves if, God forbid, someone recovers from an injury? In this field, the rate of injury was even higher.
After the decision about the replays, we were at the stadium. No one came before us without talking to anyone. I’m not saying that it was necessary to interpret the terms, but I would like to hear the position - this is normal practice.
We were not told to play this day, nor in three, nor in five, nor in ten days. And then they started saying that Obolon was inspired to steal. This is simply not true.
The citizens were in the restroom, preparing for the match. After the first decision at 12:00, we checked the remainder at 12:45. Having learned that if the decision is positive, we will have 45 minutes for warm-up, and at 15:00 we will finish. The team changed clothes and got ready. And the delegates and the referee immediately declared that the match would not take place. We turned to the counter, sent the soldiers onto the bus and checked for anyone to come before us - but none of them happened.
This is no longer the case with Oleksandriya.
In 2021, the match was already canceled, and then literally ten weeks after the decision, we sat down at the negotiating table and decided to move the game to the offensive river. Because we are all football players, decent people.
And when, instead of dialogue, they began to spread throughout the whole country that Obolon did not want to lose. This is simply absurd,” said the Ukrainian fakhivets.
In the next round, Kiev Obolon will take over Krivorizky Kryvbas.
