After five rounds, the Ukrainian team lost their chances of advancing from the group. So today in Lublin, Poland, "Zorya" played their final match of the current European season.

The black-and-whites quickly established a comfortable lead for themselves. As early as the 2nd minute, Guerrero capitalized on an opponent's mistake in the penalty area and opened the scoring. The Icelanders responded immediately with Ingvarsson, but he couldn't get past Saputin. On the 11th minute, after Churko's shot, Muminevich sent the ball into his own goal, and at the 19th minute Mitchen anticipated a goalkeeper save from an acute angle to increase Zorya's lead.

"Braedablik" had moments to reduce the deficit, but Saputin was on top form. The Icelanders also lacked accuracy. Near the end of the first half, Zorya missed several good opportunities, including one for Guerrero.

In the second half, there were plenty of battles and skirmishes. For Luhansk's team, Guerrero was once again active with a few decent chances. "Braedablik" responded with a good opportunity from Swansonsson, who shot wide of the post after receiving a pass.

At the 75th minute, Nagnoyin failed to capitalize on another clear chance—the goalkeeper saved Iceland's team once more. However, shortly thereafter, Gorbach took advantage of a clever pass from Batagov and scored for Zorya for the fourth time. In summary, "Zorya" concluded their European season with a convincing victory—4:0.
