Yesterday, 26 May, the U-17 national team of Ukraine played its third match at the European Championship.
Euro-2024 (U-17). Group A. 3rd round
Ukraine (U-17 ) - Cyprus (U-17 ) - 2: 0 (1: 0)
Goals: Bogdanov (30, 48 penalties)
Ukraine (U-17): Petrenko, Rybak, Barshak, Digtyar (Dankovskyi, 89), Strelchuk (Sheleketa, 71), Redushko (Lucin, 71), Soroka, Vakulyuk, Denysov (Dragan, 81), Bogdanov (Popov, 81), Bondar.
It will be recalled that after two defeats to Serbia (0: 1) and the Czech Republic (1-3), the Ukrainians lost their chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals, so the match against the hosts, who also had no points at that time, was all about prestige.
The game in Larnaca started with the blue and yellow team in possession of the ball. Gradually, our team began to take shots on goal, including a dangerous attempt by Bogdanov, and a header by Redushko.
In the 30th minute, Barshak made a great shot from deep, and Bogdanov converted a one-on-one with the keeper to open the scoring. Before the break, Dmytro missed a few more chances, and the Cypriots responded with two good shots of their own.
At the start of the second half, Denisov earned a penalty, which Bogdanov converted. The blue and yellows could have increased their lead, with Redushko, Vakulyuk and Lucin testing the keeper. As a result, the Ukrainian team won 2-0, finishing the tournament in third place in the group.
Final standings in Group A:
1. Czech Republic - 9 points
2. Serbia - 6
3. Ukraine - 3
3. Cyprus - 0.
