Before the match against CSKA Sofia, Viktor Syrpynyk's team suffered four defeats in four matches on the international stage this season, conceding three goals each time.
It was not easy for Lugansk without Shevchenko, Vernydub, Kochergin, Nazarina, and Kabaev due to various reasons. The game in Bulgaria's capital city saw the hosts dominate bronze medalists of Ukraine's championship not only in terms of possession but also in quality. After numerous crosses from CSKA players near Matcupuri’s goal, several scoring opportunities arose. The closest attempts came from Yomov and Lam, who failed to score, while the goalkeeper of "Zorya" made several crucial saves.
In the second half, the visitors started more actively and earned a promising penalty in the early minutes which Bulytsya missed. After organizing several attacks, Lugansk continued their efforts, and Shakhab scored from another penalty kick to force CSKA's goalkeeper into a spectacular save. Then Allahyar, receiving the ball on the left flank from Snurnitsyn, curled it under the far post to open the scoring.
By keeping their goal intact, Viktor Syrpynyk’s team secured the first victory for Ukrainian clubs in the group stage of European competitions this season and remained at the bottom of their group table.
Half-back Bulytsya, who participated in Ukraine's national team training camp in October, was substituted in the 87th minute.
