After match Left Bank – Zarya Luhansk midfielder Alexander Yatsyk spoke about all the significant moments of this game.
– Sasha, with victory! When you score this season, Zorya always wins. This is what happened in the match with Ingulets, and this is what happened now. So, you are the club’s mascot?
– Maybe. So we need to score more often!
— Did your goal decide everything in this match?
– Yes, this goal really helped us close the game. Then we played according to the score and brought the match to the result we needed.
— Have you had similar goals in your career? You shot at the goalkeeper of the Left Bank from 27 meters, right?
— I don’t remember such goals scored.
— A week ago, Zarya lost to Krivbass in the Ukrainian championship. Surely you weren’t in the best mood this week?
– Of course, but we have drawn conclusions and will try to continue to play better. We have nowhere to retreat. Every game is very important for us, we don’t want to be at the bottom of the standings. Everyone in Zarya wants to fight for the European Cup.
— The first half was quite difficult for Luhansk Zarya today…
— The game was set for 13:00, and we may not have woken up yet.
— How did you see the moment from the penalty spot at 45+3 minutes of the match?
— There was a foul on Budkovsky. Our forward, being in the goalkeeper’s area, wanted to shoot at the goal, and into the unprotected corner of the goal, but he was hit in the leg. Philip couldn’t really hit the ball.
– Who hasn’t seen this meeting and will ask you: “Did Zarya win naturally?” What’s your answer?
“It’s quite natural that we won.”
