Ponomarev’s team won a strong-willed victory over the champion of Ukraine
Rukh And Miner filled the international pause with control matches in Vinniki. The home team managed to secure a strong-willed victory over the champion of Ukraine – 3:1.
The Miners, who played in an experimental lineup, opened the scoring in the 7th minute through the efforts of Kevin Kelsey. But Vitaly Ponomarev’s team quickly bounced back – Bogdan Slyubik took advantage of Vasily Runich’s pass.
Before the break, Vitaly Kholod put Rukh ahead after an error by the opponent’s defense. In the middle of the second half, Andrey Stolyarchuk, who came on as a substitute, set the final score.
Let us remind you that the teams met in the championship match on September 23. Then Rukh, who played more than one and a half halves with a numerical advantage, managed to avoid defeat at the end of the meeting – the already mentioned Slyubyk (1:1) saved the draw for the Lviv team.
In the Ukrainian Premier League, Rukh is in fifth place with 24 points after 14 rounds. Marino Pusic’s team has the same number of points, but the Miners played two fewer games.
On November 24, in the next round of the UPL, Shakhtar will travel to Polesie. Rukh will play away against Dynamo in two days.
