"I am very grateful to the fans, because this is my first Lion of the Match award. I hope it won't be the last. My goal? There was a counterattack, and Ruslan Malinowski gave a good pass. I took it, moved and scored because I saw that the Polish goalkeeper had come out of the goal a little bit. I hit it well and scored.

There is no need to make a tragedy out of the defeat against Poland. Now all the national teams are preparing for Euro 2024, and even the England team lost at Wembley. We and the coaching staff have a lot to think about. I believe that we still have a dress rehearsal for the European Championship ahead of us," Dovbyk said.
