The match between Kryvbas and Kudrivka in the Ukrainian championship was memorable for a masterpiece goal from the centre of the field in the final seconds.
The Kryvbas players had conceded three goals before that. Yegor Tverdokhlib opened the scoring in the first half. Gleiker Mendoza also scored twice.
However, despite losing by such a crushing score, the club managed to score a prestigious goal, which became historic. Kudrivka managed to score a prestigious goal in injury time – a magnificent direct shot by Artur Dumanyuk from the centre of the field during a play after conceding a goal.
Kudrivka midfielder Artur Dumanyuk did not pass to his teammate and decided to take a direct shot at the goal. The ball hit the crossbar and ricocheted off Kryvbas goalkeeper Oleksandr Kemkin into the net. As a result, it was recorded as an own goal.
For the team from Kryvyi Rih, this is their 170th home victory in the Ukrainian Football Championship, and for Patrick van Leeuwen, it is his 30th at the helm of Ukrainian clubs overall.
Kudrivka has yet to earn any points on the road in the Ukrainian championship, and this is their fourth defeat.
