“My teammate Dawid -Novak- made the pass. When I saw him approaching the ball, I knew it was coming to me. My connection was very clean. Pure. When I hit him, I followed the ball with my eyes. and saw how it entered the top corner. I always wanted to score a nice goal. After the goal, I felt very proud. I stood up, stuck out my chest. I was so, so happy,” said Oleksy.
