Zaderaka scored twice as visitors Kryvbas survived a late comeback attempt to defeat "Zorya" 3-2 in the final match of the Ukrainian Premier League's third round.
Kryvbas shocked the hosts with a blistering start at Zorya's home ground. Zaderaka opened the scoring in just the 9th minute, and the visitors doubled their advantage seven minutes later when Parako found the net to make it 2-0.
"We started exactly as planned - aggressive and direct," a Kryvbas representative might say about their explosive first-half performance.
Budkivsky pulled one back for "Zorya" shortly before halftime in the 41st minute, giving the home side hope heading into the break. However, Kryvbas restored their two-goal cushion when Zaderaka completed his double in the 54th minute.
The hosts refused to surrender. Budkivsky struck again in the 70th minute following a corner kick, setting up a tense finale. Interestingly, goalkeeper Kemkin emerged as Kryvbas's unlikely hero in the closing stages, making several crucial saves - including a spectacular stop from Perduta's effort in stoppage time.
By the way, this victory marks an important three points for Kryvbas in the early season standings. The visitors demonstrated remarkable efficiency, converting their opportunities while relying on solid defensive work when under pressure.
Can "Zorya" bounce back from this disappointing home defeat? Their attacking prowess was evident with 20 shots according to match statistics, but finishing and defensive lapses ultimately cost them valuable points in this thrilling encounter.
