Match report
Viktoriya Mykolaivka host Niva Ternopil in the Ukrainian First League on Monday and came away from the match with a 1:3 defeat. The result keeps Viktoriya at the top of the table while Niva remain rooted in the bottom half.
M. Pezhynskyi opened the scoring in the tenth minute, giving the home side an early lead. To be fair, Niva responded well and A. Boryachuk equalised before the break in the twenty-ninth minute. The visitors then took control of the game.
By then both sides had made changes, with Viktoriya bringing on three players at the start of the second half. They looked to find a way back into the match. Niva also made a substitution in the sixty-ninth minute as O. Chernov arrived on the pitch.
And here's the thing — Viktoriya refused to go away. D. Hryshchenko was booked in the eighty-third minute but he made the difference two minutes later with a goal. M. Pezhynskyi completed his brace in the eighty-eighth minute, but it was too little too late.
The statistics tell one story but the result tells another. Viktoriya enjoyed 59 per cent possession and registered 107 attacks compared to Niva's 65. They won 13 corners to 2. Many shots with one goal means chances went begging, and that is what happened here.
Viktoriya remain first with 16 points after seven games. Niva sit fourteenth with six points. The draw brought them together early in the season, but this result widens the gap between the two sides significantly.
