 Europa League Qualification- third round-  Zorya vs. Molde in a match hosted by Valery Lobanovsky Stadium in Kiev.

 

The hosts have experienced a remarkable season, ranking on the seventh position in the premier league of Ukraine, the best ranking of the promotion in 2006. Qualification in this competition was obtained due to the meeting of Shakhtar and Dynamo Kiev  in Ukrainian Cup.

 This is the second time in history when Zorya plays in the Champions League. So is a team without European experience, but comes from a very strong football and we expect to demonstrate this, tonight on the field. In the last match played in Europa League Zorya did not have too much emotion, they defeated Laci: 2-1; 3-0. This match wil be a tough one, but it is possible that Zorya  surprise us again with a victory.
Zorya had a highly homogeneous team, keeping players who have carried the burden last season, unlike the guests that have lost two of the most important names, Even Hovland and Bjorn Sigurdarson. In this match hosts will attack more because it put big price on this competition and certainly will focus and will give their best.
