Midfielder Igor Kogut specifically for UPL TV commented on the draw in the match against "Kudrivka":
— Igor, we understand the sadness of the "Metalist 1925" players, as you were close to a more positive result than 1:1. It seemed like you lost two points today rather than earned one?
— I also think that we lost more than we gained, so everyone in the locker room is upset. We need to move on and focus on the next game.
— How difficult is it to get into the rhythm of such a game coming off the bench. Considering that the opponent sits very deep, disrupts the pace of the game, and you had moments but it was difficult to adapt to these realities?
— It's not easy to come into such a game because we went to attack with great force, and I needed to run back to cover the area, and in attack, so I was a bit out of breath. But I came out with the goal of sharpening up front and helping out at the back.
— The opponent didn't hold back, we clashed harshly several times, did you feel this battle?
— It's football, the referee let us play, so I don't think it's bad for football. It was a manly battle.
— This season, Kharkiv players score enough from set pieces. Corner kicks and free kicks often end with shots. Your moment, remember, which was at the end of the match, were you close to scoring with a header?
— Yes, the ball was crossed to the near post, and I outjumped the opponent's defender and directed the ball towards the goal. You see, it was unlucky because the ball hit the crossbar and didn't bounce to our player.
