Gopey: Why Dynamo Kiev draw felt like a win to Inhulets Petrove

The Nigerian striker is delighted that his team picked their first point in the Ukrainian Premier League after three successive losses

Inhulets Petrove striker Stephen Gopey is on cloud nine following his team’s 1-1 draw with Dynamo Kiev in Wednesday’s Ukrainian Premier League game.

Heading into the topflight clash against Mircea Lucescu’s men, the newly-promoted side had lost all their three games (Shakhtar Donetsk, Zorya, and Desna) in the 2021-22 campaign.

In that game, they appeared to be heading for another defeat as Mykhailo Shyshka turned the ball inside his own net while trying to clear his defensive line.
