In the ninth round of the Ukrainian Premier League, Cherkasy-based LNZ secured a convincing away victory over Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih, defeating the hosts 3-0. The visitors took the lead early and extended their advantage to three goals in the second half, leaving the opponents without a single goal. The match was entirely controlled by LNZ, who imposed their game from the first minutes and prevented Kryvbas from creating real threats near their goal.
Early Goal by Tza
As early as the seventh minute, Tedi Tza opened the scoring, giving the visitors an early advantage. The conceded goal forced Kryvbas to look for opportunities to respond quickly, but the hosts failed to equalize before the end of the first half. LNZ played a confident opening segment and went into halftime with a comfortable lead.
Second Half and Rout
In the second half, Kryvbas tried to change the situation, but the visitors maintained their advantage and began to pull away. In the 70th minute, Yade scored LNZ's second goal, significantly complicating the task for the hosts. Kryvbas needed to score twice, but they failed to bring intrigue back into the match. In the 85th minute, David hit Kryvbas's net for the third time and established the final score of the meeting — according to ua-football.com, the decisive pass on the flank was delivered by Oleksandr Drambayev following a solo run.
Significance of the Victory for LNZ
Thus, LNZ won 3-0 and broke their four-match away winless streak. The three unanswered goals became an important signal for the Cherkasy team, which has finally returned to a winning rhythm in away matches and collected three points in the ninth round of the championship.
Kryvbas's Home Stadium Troubles
For Kryvbas, the defeat became another failure at their home stadium. The team failed to score a single goal and allowed the opponent to secure a convincing victory. The lack of scoring efficiency at their home ground remains a key problem for Kryvbas, who will have to fix the situation in the upcoming rounds of the Premier League.
