The head coach of Lutsk "Volyn" Vitaliy Kvartsyany, two years after the strange match with "Dnipro," in which his team, leading 4:1 during the game, lost 4:5, decided to cut the truth and tell everything about that meeting. In an interview with the newspaper "Sport-Express in Ukraine," Kvartsyany confirmed the fact of a fixed match with "Dnipro," though he blamed his players for it. In addition, Kvartsyany complained that his players sold themselves for pennies.
"The dishonesty of my players was obvious. They had no right to do that, although they knew that the result did not affect our tournament position in any way. Perhaps they needed money for a banquet on the occasion of the end of the season. Now I perceive that situation calmly, but then - I locked the players in the locker room until three o'clock in the morning. I demanded that they confess - not to the PFL and the federation, but personally to me. But the players kept their mouths shut.
"...Nine players who, in my opinion, were involved in the conspiracy, had to leave. It's offensive that the guys resorted to baseness not for serious money, but practically for pennies. After all, as I later found out, they made the deal already during the match," noted Kvartsyany.
It should be noted that after the match "Volyn" – "Dnipro," which took place in the 2002/2003 season, a real scandal erupted in the press. By the way, that victory gave "Dnipro" practically nothing in terms of tournament position, and the team still finished in fourth place, one point behind the bronze medalist of the championship, Donetsk "Metalurh."
