Today "Polissya" will play the second leg match of the Conference League second qualifying round
Today "Polissya" will play the second leg match of the Conference League second qualifying round against Danish "Copenhagen". Kick-off is at 20:00 Kyiv time, live broadcast on the "Megogo" media service.
In the first match, Ruslan Rotan's team pleasantly surprised with their aggression and persistence in attack. According to the expected goals xG indicator, "Polissya" completely outplayed "Copenhagen" - 2.64 to 1.1 according to Wyscout. The advantage in the number of shots was more than double - 20:10, the flanks were very active (the score from crosses was simply astronomical - 36:3), to which the guests were clearly not prepared.
However, the victory eluded the Zhytomyr team - the scoreboard showed a 3:3 draw.
It was only the 9th time when a Ukrainian club ended a European match with such a high-scoring draw.
And only the 2nd time it happened at the beginning of a two-legged confrontation as the home team. The first such story occurred in April 1999 when "Dynamo" faced "Bayern" in the Champions League semi-final. Back then, in the first leg in Kyiv, the opponents played a 3:3 draw, but unfortunately, "Bayern" won 1:0 in Munich.
Hopefully, this time the Ukrainian club will have a more successful second leg match.
