The match, held in Sofiivska Borshchahivka, was a true test for Veres’s youth team. Facing not only a strong opponent but also a synthetic pitch of questionable quality required significant effort from the players. The red-and-black team, accustomed to playing on natural grass, needed time to adapt to the new conditions, which unfortunately led to injuries within the team.
The Kolos players, who proved to be more adaptable to the situation, opened the scoring in the middle of the first half. Danylo Denysenko easily outmaneuvered Ihor Boychuk on the left flank and delivered a cross that Nazar Hrabovenkyi could not react to, allowing Oleksii Bezruchuk to score – 1:0.
Not long after, Dmytro Murashko had a chance to equalize, but his shot went just over the bar. Before the break, Stanislav Mihutskyi missed the target while attempting to follow up after a shot from Ihnat Pushkutsia.
The second half started well for Veres. Vladyslav Saichishin managed to deliver an accurate cross from the right flank, and Dmytro Murashko, winning a positional battle, equalized with a header – 1:1.
Unfortunately, in the second half, due to minor injuries, Ihor Boychuk and Teimur Khalilov had to leave the game. No more goals were scored in the match, leading to a well-deserved draw.
Thus, the match between the youth teams of Kolos and Veres ended with a score of 1:1, reflecting the intense struggle on the field.
