Andriyevskyi: Polissya were better than Copenhagen but must improve finishing

Polissya midfielder Oleksandr Andriyevskyi has commented on the 3-3 draw in the first leg of the Europa Conference League second qualifying round against Copenhagen.

According to the midfielder, despite the scoreline, the Ukrainian side created more goal-scoring opportunities than their opponents. Andriyevskyi emphasized that failing to capitalize on these chances could make the upcoming away fixture significantly more difficult for the team.

I think we had more goal-scoring opportunities. We didn't convert them, but that's the score on the board. We understand that it will be a bit harder away from home, so we need to convert such chances to advance. Oleksandr Andriyevskyi

The player also reflected on the psychological aspect of the match, suggesting that Ukrainian footballers sometimes lack the self-belief seen in their European counterparts. He noted that despite some early nerves, the team realized they could compete on equal terms with Copenhagen, providing a base of optimism for the return leg.
