Shakhtar defeated Minai with a horrific mistake by Trubin: video review of the UPL match

On Tuesday, February 28, in Lviv, at the Arena Lviv, a postponed match of the 9th round of the Ukrainian Football Championship between the Transcarpathian “Minaj” took place, the players of which in Turkey provided the players of the Russian “shinnik” and Donetsk “Shakhtar” in the ears, which in the spring part of the season has already passed the French “Rennes” in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League.

Postponed match of the 9th round

“Minay” - “Shakhtar” (Donetsk) - 1:4 (Vorobchak, 31 - Stepanenko, 8, Sikan, 15, 60, Sudakov, 40, from the penalty spot). Junior teams - 0:2.

“Miner”: Trubin, Hemp, Bondar, Rakitsky (Topalov, 61), Matvienko, Stepanenko (Nazarina, 68), Bondarenko, Djurasek, Sudakov (Petryak, 79), Zubkov (Gocholeishvili, 61), Sikan (Kelsey, 62).

In the last head-to-head match of the teams, the modest Ming managed to take points away from Shakhtar at home. But this time Volodymyr Sharan’s wards could not oppose anything to the more skillful Pitmen. Igor Jovicevich’s team scored two quick goals (one of them was scored by Stepanenko, for whom this goal was the 20th in the UPL), continuing the goal streak in the championship to 13 matches, securing a comfortable advantage for themselves. Even Trubin’s scoring mistake, who let the ball pass under him after a simple shot from afar, did not unbalance the Pitmen, who scored two more goals and calmly brought the match to victory. It should be noted that Sikan chalked up a brace, and now, with 8 goals, he is Shakhtar’s top scorer this UPL season.
