Well-known manager and expert Vyacheslav Zakhovailo spoke out on the results of the Euro 2024 qualifying match Ukraine - Italy (0:0), which took place yesterday in Leverkusen.
"The result does not suit us. But... We have nothing to be ashamed of. The game ran in an equal struggle. The first half was for Italy. For us in the first half there were critical moments between the 27th and 37th minutes. We didn't always get an organised bildappe. Italians skilfully pressed in the first half. Luck was on Italy's side on the rebounds at our goal in the first half.
I must praise Rebrov and all the guys. The guys did not sit in the trenches. We had chances. The second half was for us. Not many national teams can boast that they beat Italy by shots on goal.
It is a pity, we must admit the truth: Ukraine was robbed by the referees. There was a 100% penalty on Mudryk in added time", - wrote Zakhovaylo on his page in the social network Facebook.
