Agroprom Volochysk and Livy Bereh played out a 1:1 draw in the Cup Round of 32 at the Unist arena on Tuesday evening, sending the tie to a shootout. A. Riznyk opened the scoring in the thirteenth minute before E. Banada equalised late in regulation time. The match then went to penalties, where the visitors prevailed to advance.
The home side took the lead early, with Riznyk finding the net in the thirteenth minute. Livy Bereh responded with pressure, and Banada's goal in the 90th minute plus three seconds levelled things before the final whistle. A missed penalty in stoppage time added to the tension heading into extra time.
Extra time produced little in the way of open play, but the shootout told a different story. Sokolov, Andradina, Zin, Vorobchak and two unnamed takers converted for the away side. Nyzhnyk and Kozak missed for the hosts, while an earlier attempt in regular time also failed to find the target.
Statistically, the visitors dominated possession at 62 per cent and registered 115 attacks compared to 63 from the hosts. They also earned five corners to two, though the numbers do not fully capture how the match unfolded on the pitch. Both sides received one yellow card each during the contest.
Agroprom Volochysk came into this fixture with mixed recent form, including a 6-0 victory and a 1-5 defeat. Livy Bereh had been more consistent, drawing three of their last five matches. The result means the Cup tie is decided, with the away team progressing to the next stage.
