However, in the 7th minute, the first attack of the Ukrainians led to success - Gennady Synchuk scored, taking advantage of a defender's mistake and skillfully throwing the opposing goalkeeper over.

Our opponent scored in the 34th minute. Bernardo Corradi's wards received the right to a standard, and after throwing the ball into the penalty area, Tommaso Ebone pushed it past Krapivtsov - 1: 1.

After the break, the teams quickly exchanged goals. First, in the 52nd minute, Marco Romano scored from the central area, putting the Italians ahead, but two minutes later Danylo Krevsun received a heel pass from Matviy Ponomarenko and restored the balance with a powerful shot - 2: 2.

In the 75th minute, the Ukrainian national team received the right to a penalty kick and a numerical advantage due to the removal of Christian Corradi, who fouled Andriy Matkevych. The 11-meter penalty was clearly converted by Matvey Ponomarenko.

    интересно было посмотреть на Гаджиева, ради чего вся эта суматоха вокруг его перехода. До основы ДК ему расти и расти, всадник без головы. Пономаренко очень солидно отыграл, но профессором был Михавко, даже не смотря на ошибки в первом тайме, игрок матча, как по мне
