Zabarnyi: “We kept going”
You never give up?
“No, of course not. It was a difficult match for us; we knew it would be tough coming here to play. We conceded a goal in the first half, but we kept going—that’s just how it is. We improved as the game went on and secured the three points.”
Zabarnyi: “We were down to nine men, but that’s not a problem for us.”
You were effectively down to nine players by the end?
“Yes, but that’s not an issue—we have a good team with very strong players. Even with nine men, it’s not a problem for us. We’ll continue to stick together and defend as a unit.”
