Zhytomyr's Polissya secured a significant victory in the central match of the fourth round of the Ukrainian Premier League, defeating Shakhtar Donetsk 2-0 on the road.
Following the match, Polissya midfielder Oleksandr Andriyevskyi noted that the team successfully executed their game plan and maintained defensive discipline. According to the player, neutralizing the opponent's fast wings was the primary task, which required collective effort from the entire squad.
It is pleasant to beat a Champions League level opponent. But we have to move on. We lost the previous game, so it is important for us to have stability in this regard. We analyzed the match against Zorya, prepared for Shakhtar, and I believe we played well.Oleksandr Andriyevskyi
Andriyevskyi also admitted that a personal factor added extra motivation during the encounter against the Donetsk side.
I am a former Dynamo player, so it is always pleasant to score against such an opponent.Oleksandr Andriyevskyi
