Luhansk Zorya coach Mladen Bartulovic on the disappointing defeat of Oleksandriya:
-In my opinion, it was an equal game. A very disappointing defeat for my team. We conceded unnecessary goals. The first of them, before the break, was the key one. If we had gone into the second half with a 1-0 lead, it would have been a completely different game. But letting it go...
We can say that in two minutes we conceded again and lost. However, after we started losing, I liked the reaction of the players. They started to act actively. It was not enough to score a little bit.
In my opinion, there was a clear penalty in the 67th minute when Vakula was fouled. For some reason, no one saw it - neither the head referee nor the HACC judges.
-How do you assess the actions of the newcomers today?
-Vasyl has been with us for a long time, but it was his debut. He is a young guy. He deserves a chance. He played well. Maksym is a fighting unit for us.
The Bila Tserkva resident is well known to all of us. He returned to Zorya. This is a good acquisition. He will definitely help us.
Dejan Popara played very well for the first match. He is young, just getting to know the UPL and will definitely progress further.
