Oleksandr Kucher’s wards have been stronger than the Cypriot team for the second time in the conference league.
Dnipro-1 secured a place in the Conference League playoffs. It became known after the victory of Oleksandr Kucher’s wards against Cypriot Apollo.
It should be noted that to reach the next stage of the tournament, it is enough for the Ukrainian team to play a draw at home. However, the Dnieper did not sit on the defense and from the first minutes of the fight in Kosice went on the attack.
The result was secured at the end of the first half, when Pikhalenok scored in the opponent’s goal. Despite the open nature of the game and the abundance of dangerous moments, this goal remained the only one in the match.
