Incredible denouement: "Kolos" beats "Minaj" 2-1!

In the final match of this calendar year, our "Kolos" won an incredible victory over "Minaj" with a score of 2:1!

The game itself started unpleasantly for Kovalivka's team - in the 11th minute Oleh Vyshnevskyi hit the goal of Yevhen Volynets after a shot from the right flank by Mykhailo Meskha. After that, our team dominated, and Volodymyr Lysenko and Oleh Ilin had their chances, but the gates of Transcarpathia remained dry.

After the break, head coach of "Kolos" Yaroslav Vyshniak tried to refresh the game in the attack with substitutions - first Anatolii Nuriev replaced Lysenko, and later Renan replaced Nika Sitchinava. With the territorial advantage, "Kolos" lacked sharpness at the gates of Herman Penkov, so later our coaching staff went all-in - Denys Kostyshyn replaced Andrii Bohdanov. However, we could have missed a minute after Kuliev's shot, but Volynets saved the team.

At the end of the game, "Kolos" stormed the Transcarpathians' goal and was rewarded for their efforts in the last minutes of the match. Our defender Oleksandr Chornomorets became a hero. In the 87th minute Sasha earned a penalty when Bohdan Vekliak played with his hand in his penalty area. Vadym Milko realized a great "point", equalizing the result - 1:1. Our guys caught the courage and in the last minute after Nuriev's pass from the penalty spot Chornomorets brought an incredible victory to "Kolos" in the final match before the winter break!

2:1 - "Kolos" after the 18th round scores 24 points, rises to eighth place in the standings, and in a good mood goes on vacation! Congratulations to all our fans on the upcoming New Year holidays!
