League Play-Off

Zjurupynsk
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) In the 10th minute, Faust Donetsk's Demjan Yaremenko seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Demjan Yaremenko the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Faust Donetsk protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Demjan Yaremenko had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In a very dangerous position, a player in Faust Donetsk fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 9th minute. Penalty! When Gennadiy Kutsenko came up free with the goalie in the 18th minute, the Zhydachiv Kolos fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Gennadiy Kutsenko couldn't finish the play. 22 minutes into the match, Faust Donetsk's Olexiy Kazyuk sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Ostap Perekolyanovych narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Borys Kohanovskyi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Taras Khymchenko, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 28 minutes into the match, Faust Donetsk's goal looked a bit too open when Gennadiy Kutsenko came free, but Borys Kohanovskyi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 30 minutes into the match, Ostap Bogach notched a goal, 0-3, to the right of Faust Donetsk's Borys Kohanovskyi. Borys Kohanovskyi was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 34th minute, Ostap Bogach ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Borys Kohanovskyi was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-4. After a defensive mix-up in Faust Donetsk's zone, Gennadiy Kutsenko stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Borys Kohanovskyi came out of the goal and Gennadiy Kutsenko tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Gennadiy Kutsenko in the 42nd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Borys Kohanovskyi saved Faust Donetsk from getting behind. After having played for 45 minutes, Denys Tarnovskyi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Faust Donetsk's supporters crossed their fingers, but Denys Tarnovskyi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Lev Lozynskyi kicked well hit freekick during the 46th minute of the match. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-4 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Denys Tarnovskyi to strike the kick off in the second half. Olexiy Kazyuk's late challenge caught a Zhydachiv Kolos's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Olexiy Kazyuk helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Faust Donetsk getting a freekick after 61 minutes play. Anton Barabukha hit a great ball. Ostap Bogach scored 0-5 in the 66th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Borys Kohanovskyi, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. If Taras Khymchenko had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Faust Donetsk's Borys Kohanovskyi proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 86th minute of the match, managed to save Faust Donetsk from getting a goal against them. In the 93rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Faust Donetsk's goalkeeper Borys Kohanovskyi, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. When the match was over Zhydachiv Kolos could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Faust Donetsk throughout the match.
