Key Players
- Ihor Kostiuk is a coach who sets up his teams to play vertical, zonal, high-tempo soccer, with a strong emphasis on regaining possession quickly and breaking lines on the attack.
- Fran Fernandez, meanwhile, is a master of the compact mid-block with duel-winning players who play a lot of soccer in transition when the space is there to exploit.

- The former is the main danger man for the White-Blues with four goals in six games, while the latter has been on fire for the Zeleno-Bili with four in seven.
