Rukh goes without glasses
Rukh head coach Leonid Kuchuk commented on the defeat in the match against Miner (0:1).
“A very difficult game. The result depended on one moment, and Shakhtar managed to score. The game was very difficult, I can’t say that it was easy for Shakhtar with us. I am satisfied with the team interactions and the players, but we have a lot of young people who have to work hard and be able to concentrate on every moment when playing with Shakhtar. Everything depended on concentration, so whoever scored won.
“We played with an emphasis on attack, but a lot of things didn’t work out in attack. We lost a lot of balls when the attacking players were in a hurry. You can’t lose the ball during the transition phase, and we did. I think in the first half we delivered even more shots on goal than Shakhtar. Another thing is the loss of the ball during the transitional phase, the individual actions of the players, for example, in a one-on-one game – we lost in this component.
“The end of the match showed that we can play. We conceded against Kolos at the very first moment, and then we started playing with a huge advantage. If we miss from one moment, it means that we are not fully concentrated.
Recall that Shakhtar in the minority minimally defeated Rukh (1:0) in the match of the third round of the Ukrainian Premier League. The Pitmen were left with ten men after Mudrik was sent off in the first half.
Shakhtar scored seven points and moved up to first place in the Premier League. Rukh goes without points and closes the standings of the championship of Ukraine.
On September 10, the Pitmen will meet Chernomorets within the UPL. Rukh will play Zorya the day before.
