Ruslan Rotan’s team started the season with an away win in Cherkassy
The final match of the second round took place in Cherkassy UPL — LNZ suffered a defeat at home from Alexandria (0:2).
The score in the match was opened in the 58th minute – after a corner kick, the visiting team’s newcomer Nikita Kravchenko made a great pass into the penalty area, and Kirill Kovalets headed the ball into the LNZ goal.
Ruslan Rotan’s team doubled their advantage in the 73rd minute – Bezerra broke into the hosts’ penalty area at an angle and shot, the ball ricocheted off LNZ centre-back Aidi Dayko and flew into Yevgeny Kucherenko’s goal.
As a result, Oleksandria opened the season with a confident away victory. Let us recall that its match of the first round of the UPL against Dynamo was postponed due to the call-up of a number of players from both teams to the Ukrainian Olympic team. LNZ, in turn, snatched a victory over the Left Bank in the last seconds of the opening round at home (1:0).
In the third round of the UPL, LNZ will host Rukh on August 18, and Alexandria will play away against Zorya the day before.
