In a nominally home match, the Lugansk team managed to play on equal terms against the favorite group.
Zarya started the group round of the Conference League with a draw. In a nominally home match, held in Lublin, Poland, the Lugansk team tied with the Belgian Ghent.
The latter is now rising and the leader of its championship, ahead of Bruges and Anderlecht, and is therefore considered the favorite of the whole quartet. However, “black and white” managed to play on equal terms with the famous opponent, ending the match with a score of 1:1.
Both goals were scored in the second half. First, Hugo Kuipers put the visitors first. But after a few minutes the Lugansk team won. After a pass from the flank from Igor Kiryukhantsev, Panamanian Eduardo Guerrero scored a goal.
In the next round of the Conference League, Zorya will play Iceland against Breidablik, and Ghent will host Israeli Maccabi.
