Squad

Oleh Bilyk keeps Epicentr in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings

Viktor Tsukanov, 20, steals the show — 7.78

Marked 7.78 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad

Kyrylo Kovalets in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Epicentr this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Alexandros Tsobanidis arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Alexandros Tsobanidis has, at Epicentr, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad

A row about effort at Epicentr

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jon Ceberio was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Vladyslav Moroz

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

One of those days for Carlos Rojas

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.01, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match

Epicentr rescue it on 94 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 94. LNZ had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

Loan watch

Arsenii Vavshko wants to come home

“I did not go to Inhulets to sit and watch. I want to come back to Epicentr and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 18 matches say the rest.

In brief
