In their first match of Group 6, Yuriy Moroz's wards defeated the tournament hosts from Cyprus (4: 2). Now our guys met with the Irish at the Municipality of Geroskipou Stadium in Paphos.

"The Blue and Yellows started the match extremely poorly - as of the 12th minute, the islanders' striker Melia made a double. Later, the Ukrainians tried to win back, but their shots usually lacked accuracy, and the Irish goalkeeper stood firm.

In the 62nd minute, Melia scored for the third time, thus removing the question of the winner. At the end of the match, the Irish were down to ten men, but Yuriy Moroz's men failed to win back at least a goal.

Despite the defeat, the Blue and Yellows retain their chances of leaving the group. Our boys will play the decisive match against Italy on March 13. Ukraine will be satisfied with only a victory.
