Heartbreak before that as Inhulets lost 1-2 at Hirnyk's place.Inhulets have scored {2 league goals} here from 3 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.

Churko, Myshnov and Shakhov scored in Zorya's previous match, the home game against Metal Kharkiv that ended 3-2. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager van Leeuwen when Shakhov scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 76th minute.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Metalist 1925 Kharkiv at their stadium, the result 3-0.Take note that 9 of this side's 10 most recent league rounds have ended with three or more goals.
