The war in Ukraine is not over, but the football championship has started. Despite the dangers and great risk in the war, Ukrainians still decided to play football and played the first round, one game lasting more than 4 hours.
Hard times in Ukraine
In Lviv, Rukh and Kharkiv Metalist faced each other, and the match was stopped three times due to air warning signals. The players spent a total of 145 minutes in the shelter.
The mentioned meeting started at 15:00 local time and ended at 19:27 – 4 hours and 27 minutes later. Despite the alarm signals, no attacks were detected near the territory, and the match was won by Metalist, who returned to the top division of Ukraine, 2:1.
The ongoing war and football
We remind you that the championship of Ukraine has started, but with special restrictions. Games are played without spectators. In addition, a special security plan has been developed. The latter allowed the players and staff at the stadium to move to a safe place.
We’d like to remind you that Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 and has been conducting hostilities ever since.
