Curious goal from Kuzyk
Notably, the first goal of the match by Mykhailo Kuzyk was scored in a comical manner, with a shot from the flank that caught the goalkeeper off guard. This surprised Kuzyk himself, who, at the moment of scoring, sniffled in bewilderment at how such a surprising goal could happen.
It is worth noting that this victory was significant for "LNZ," as the team confirmed its status as one of the favorites of the season in the UPL.
