The last match for “Veres” ended in a draw against Kyiv’s “Obolon”, extending the winless streak for Oleg Shandruk’s team. The Rivne team took the lead early in the game due to an own goal from the opponent, but then “Obolon” equalized. In the second half, “Veres” focused on maintaining the result, which proved successful.
The “Wolves” have not tasted victory for four consecutive matches and are eager to change this trend. Oleg Shandruk noted that the team consists of new players, many of whom are foreigners and young footballers. “Veres has a collective, but we are working to create a real team whose play will be interesting to watch,” the coach emphasized.
During the international break, “Veres” played a charity match in Moldova against “Zimbru”, finishing the game in a 1:1 draw. The only goal for the “Wolves” was scored by Eren Aydin. The club also announced the signing of forward Vladyslav Taranuha, who joined the team as a free agent after playing for “Obolon”.
There are new updates from the injury list for “Veres”: Denys Ndukwe will miss part of the season due to a spinal injury. Dmytro Klets, who suffered a broken nose, is preparing to return to training, while Maksym Smiyan may miss several weeks due to a knee injury sustained in the match against “Obolon”.
