Bar Lin scored twice as "Kryvbas" secured a comfortable 3-0 away victory against "Kulykiv-Bilka" in their Ukrainian Cup 1/32 final matchup.
"We executed our game plan perfectly in the second half," a satisfied Lin might have said after his impressive performance.
After a goalless first half, the Kryvyi Rih side broke the deadlock just six minutes after the restart. Lin collected the ball inside the penalty area and cleverly poked it past the goalkeeper to open the scoring in the 51st minute.
The floodgates opened from there. Just three minutes later, Yegor Tverdokhlib converted from the spot after a handball in the penalty area, doubling the visitors' advantage.
Interestingly, Lin wasn't done yet. The forward completed his brace only two minutes after the penalty with a stunning long-range effort that found the top corner, leaving the "Kulykiv-Bilka" goalkeeper with no chance.
Three goals in just five minutes - talk about an efficient second-half performance! The Lviv region side simply couldn't respond to this quick-fire attack from the professional outfit.
Kryvbas kept a clean sheet away from home, another positive sign for their cup campaign. Can they make a deep run in this year's competition? This convincing victory certainly suggests they have the firepower to trouble stronger opponents.
