Spezia lost to Verona and were relegated from Serie A

Ukrainian club Viktor Kovalenko lost the decisive playoff match to keep a place in the elite.

Serie A has no spice next season. Viktor Kovalenko’s club lost a crucial play-off match while retaining divisional status.

Remember that the Ukrainian team finished this year in Serie A in 17th place, having 31 points after 38 matches, the same with Verona, which is located in 18th line. According to the rules of the league, in such a situation, the teams have to play an additional match between themselves for the right to remain in the elite of Italian football.

However, the playoff match did not go ahead. After the first half, Verona won 3:1. Spezia had a chance to turn the tide after Verona defender Davide Faraoni deliberately knocked the ball over his own goal line with his hand in the 67th minute, earning him a red card and a self-penalty. However, La Spezia forward Mbala Nzola missed the penalty kick. Because of this, the final whistle fixed the victory of Verona with a score of 3:1.

Viktor Kovalenko started the match on the bench and appeared on the field during the substitution in the 65th minute of the match.
