At the First League match, a conflict arose related to the denial of entry to journalist Iryna Kozyupa. The editor-in-chief of Tribuna.com believes that this was done as revenge by the club owner. The journalist stated that she was not allowed into the match due to pettiness and a demand to buy a ticket, despite having accreditation. Kozyupa doubts the club's viability and believes that the owner should learn to work with the press.
