  • 43' Ukraine started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 43.

  • 75' What composure from Andrii Yarmolenko! The Ukraine international strokes it home. 3-1.
  • 79' The deadlock is broken! Roman Yaremchuk gets on the scoresheet on 79 minutes.
