Online text translation of the match Vorskla – AIK live
Today, July 21, at 20:00 Kyiv time, in the qualification match of the Conference League, Vorskla and AIK. The match will take place in Stockholm, at the stadium “Stockholm Arena”.
Good evening! Sport Arena welcomes you to the online match of the LC qualification. Vorskla accepts AIK! Broadcast hosted by Alexander Zvirk.
The Poltava club is trying to get into the group stage of the youngest European Cup for the second time in a row. Now his task is more difficult than a year ago: the opponent is more status, besides, the Green-Whites formally play the home match on the opponent’s field.
Vorskla – AIK: layouts
As in the case of Dynamo, we can talk about the unfavorable lot. Vorskla nominally got one of the strongest possible rivals. An additional complication is that, due to the Russian invasion, Poltava cannot host European rivals in Ukraine. The clubs agreed that both matches will take place on the field of AIK, in the capital of Sweden.
Who is this AIC? The name stands for Allmänna IdrottsKlubben – General Sports Club. This is one of the giants of Swedish football, in terms of the number of championship titles it is inferior to Gothenburg and Malmö. Rodents (that’s the nickname of FC) became champions in 2019, but in general, as a rule, they are in the shadow of the richer and more successful Malmö. AIK has not been at the group stage of European cups for 10 years.
In Allsvenskan-2021, AIK fought desperately for the championship, but lost to Malmö only on goal difference. It was kinda embarrassing. Since 2020, the team has been led by Bartosz Grzelak, a Swede of Polish origin.
Vorskla – AIK: history
Vorskla has not met with Swedish opponents before. Unlike other Ukrainian clubs.
In 1999, the Karpaty did not lose to Helsingborg, but were eliminated in the 11-meter series. In 2011, Metalist defeated Malmö twice in the UEL group – 3:1, 4:1. A year later, it was the turn of AIK, who snatched from the Dnieper – 2:3, 0:4. In 2015, Malmö exchanged victories in the Champions League with Shakhtar – 1:0, 0:4. In 2017, Zorya could not do anything with Östersund – twice 0:2. A year later, Mariupol passed Djurgården (1:1, 2:1), and in the 19th Dynamo and Malmö in turn obtained minimal victories.
Final balance: +7=3-4 in favor of Ukraine with a much better goal difference.
Vorskla – AIK: personnel
Formally, the Green-Whites are weaker than they were a year ago. Defender Tamm (Steaua) and forward Rangel (Riga) left the team. Seriously injured midfield leader Olivier Till. Other important players joined him in the infirmary – Chesnakov and Sklyar. However, there are many legionnaires in the application for the match: Yakubu, Zaikov, Putslin, Till Jr., Amilcar, Marlison. There is also the notorious Denis Oleinik.
Vorskla is headed by Viktor Skripnik, who replaced Yuri Maksimov.
As part of AIK, one can note both status veterans (Lustig, Seba Larsson) and young talents like Hussein and Bowie. The Rodents stepped up their attack this summer with two notable signings. From Alaves came Guidetti, from Mordor, Jordan Larsson. Not without losses – the leader of the defense, Milosevic, was injured.
Referee of the meeting Vorskla – AIK
The match will be played by the Swiss brigade. Main – Urs Schnider. He is 36 years old, in European competitions he has played 48 matches for all the time, handed out 48 yellow cards, set two penalties.
Twice Schnyder judged the Ukrainian U-17 team, in 2018. The result – two draws, with the Spaniards and the Czechs.
Pre-match quotes
Experts see the Swedish club as the favorite. Moreover, the clear favorite: the victory of AIK is offered for 1.57while a double chance in favor of Vorskla is for 2.36. The fact that the Poltava team will score at least a goal, the coefficient is very decent – 1.87.
More options – here!

More Veterans! Lustig instead of Mendez.
Oops. Riznyk did a trick, gave the ball to the opponent. But he quickly recovered.
Pass and inaccurate blow from Otieno.
And again, as in the first half, there was a “cooling break” after Vorskla’s goal.
AAAAA!!! It is a masterpiece!!! What Chelyadin created is just fire. Long-range super-hit in the top nine – Nordfeldt is powerless. 3:2!!!
And here is the Poltava corner. Stepanyuk’s breakthrough was stopped with difficulty.
The first move from Skrypnik. The hero of the match leaves (goal + pass) Kozyrenko. Instead of him – Chelyadin.
AIK collects corners. So far without any result.
Fall in the Vorskla penalty area. The public is indignant, the Swiss is silent.
Double substitution from Grzelak. Gone Elbuzedi and kimpioka. Came Abdirahman and Guidetti.
Oh oh. The counterattack was dispersed by Kozyrenko, while Stepanyuk lost the ball sadly.
Wow, the arbutr sold out! LCD Kozyrenko for a dubious foul on Mendez.
Legendary Larsson in the center of the field greeted Putslin impolitely. Schneider does not care about authorities!
The baton of initiative is still tossed between the teams.
Bill Till – rebound, corner. Vorskla actively started the time!
Second half!
“Favbet offers a risk-free bet. Come over and claim your exclusive bonus!»
It quickly became clear that AIK was not as clear a favorite as it seemed. Now, during the break, you can bet on the victory of the Swedish club for 2.16. Double outcome in favor of Vorskla (1X) – option for 1.62.
We can already say that Vorskla pleasantly surprised. Skrypnyk’s team runs well forward, combines well. I figured out two thoroughbred goals. It’s a pity that the Poltava team somehow outwardly missed it too easily. But there is nothing wrong with this AIK. Such an opponent can be beaten, even in his lair.
Break! It was a busy first half.
Ai-yay-yay-yay-yay. Lets Vorskla into the locker room. Canopy of Mendez, unsuccessful game of Riznyk, rebound – and free Larsson hits from 16 meters. 2:2!!!
Here is the premiere yellow card for the Ukrainian team. perduta unsuccessfully rolled under Bjornström.
Unsuccessful canopy from Perduta. He is the captain today.
Dangerous! Kozyrenko from the left gave to the goalkeeper, the defense coped.
And immediately the second Papayannopoulos, for talking. Keep it up!
Milosevic yellow! For a delayed foul.
Again a protracted attack, a blow from Putslin. Very high.
Marlison did not run one on one. Hit from a distance Not bad, but not critical for Nordfeldt.
AIK players demanded a penalty for handball! In vain.
It’s a shame – Vorsklyane did not play a three-on-three attack as it should. Stepanyuk tightened with a blow.
Hussein kissed down. Riznyk took.
Eh! Marlison missed with the ball after Stepanyuk’s serve.
And again Yavorsky cool. Took a powerful shot from Larsson.
The pass did not go against – Yavorsky well done.
A small pause. Watering place. It’s hot in Stockholm!
This is beauty!!! Yavorsky’s longball for Perduta, a discount back, Kozyrenko accepted – and put it in the very corner. 2:1!!!
Vorskla is attacking hard. Two corners in a row earned.
Eh! AIK compares quickly. And from nothing. Hussein’s cool throw, the center back failed, Stefanelli hit Riznyk with a third attempt. 1:1!!!
Hehe, Marlison from a distance decided to throw Nordfeldt by the collar. Did not work out.
Marlison with the ball stomped inside the penalty area, but failed to strike.
Two hits in one attack! Oleinik’s shot was repulsed by the goalkeeper, Kozyrenko charged higher.
The Rodent Initiative. Skripnik’s team catches their luck in counterattacks.
Bjornstrom’s long shot. Above the target.
Let’s see how AIC will respond. While the Swedes reach someone else’s penalty area, but nothing more.
Blimey! Vorskla opens an account!!! Kozyrenko’s cross, Stepanyuk outstripped Papayannopoulos – take it out. 1:0!!!
Shot by Kozyrenko – block again! Larsson did his best.
Large-scale attack of Vorskla. The strike attempt was blocked.
The match has begun! The first touch on the ball was caused by Marlison.
Grzelyak has slightly changed the composition compared to the recent league match. Experienced in reserve Lustig and Guidetti. Instead of them, youth comes out – a defender Mendez and forward kimpioka.
As you can see, the composition of the Green-Whites has changed decently since December. We have already talked about losses in the main text. Winter newcomer Macedonian returned from Bulgaria Zaikov. A young man drove up from the Belarusian lease Kozyrenko. Ex-forward Metalist-1925 marlison starts immediately. Like a 35 year old Oleinik, who has played in Finland in recent years. Like Vincent Till – for him this is a debut in the Vorskla!
Lineups!
Vorskla (4-4-2): Riznyk – Perduta, Zaikov, Yavorsky, Batsula – Kozyrenko, V. Till, Putslin, Oleinik – Stepanyuk, Marlison
AIK (4-4-2): Nordfeldt – Mendes, Milosevic, Papayannopoulos, Otieno – Elbusedi, Hussein, S. Larsson, Bjornström – Kimpioka, Stefanelli
Hi all! Following Dynamo, Poltava Vorskla starts a new season. The team has been seriously updated, it has a new coach and half of the new composition. Due to the war unleashed by the Russian aggressor, Poltava cannot play at home – they had to agree with the Swedish AIK to play both matches of the LK qualification away. It won’t be easy to move on, but it’s not impossible. Come to our text online! The match starts at 20:00.
