Bukovina forward Oleg Kozhushko commented on his team’s victory in the 1/4 finals of the Ukrainian Cup against LNZ in the post-match penalty shootout.

\! I lost my voice. I'm so happy for our team and for everyone who cheers for us. It's simply incredible. Honestly speaking, I don’t remember if I felt such emotions as at once. I am very happy, and the whole team is also very happy.

We believed we could win. If we talk about superniks, we were not afraid of UPL teams. Most of all, since we passed the Carpathians, we realized that it is possible to beat such serious and ambitious opponents as LNZ. So, the foal called us from Cherkassy. Then I thought that this is one of the most unaccepted superniks. We were well prepared, and the whole team was equipped with one strong weapon. We believed that we could beat this team and re-enter before the semifinals of the tournament.

For Bukovina, this will be the first official match of the club, since LNZ has already played two matches in the UPL? This is a great minus for us. First of all, at the training camp we played only one game on natural grass, and then only eleven boys played the final match. Other football players played on a piece field. Especially for me, for example, it was foldable. I haven’t played on a natural lawn for three months, so the transition is important. That's a minus for us.

Ale we got into trouble - we endured, fought and were able to create a headache: make it to the semifinals.

In the penalty shootout, football fart is on our side. The opponent's goalkeeper hit the ball with his fingertips several times, but still ended up hitting the net. That’s when I thought: “This is our gra, we’ll take it away.”. That’s how it happened,” said Kozhushka, the club’s press service.
