The match takes place in the Dutch capital, Amsterdam, at the stadium named after the legendary Johan Cruijff. The Netherlands home team is considered the undisputed favorite for both this match and the entire Group C.
Both teams won the qualifying competition with confidence. Ukraine overall won their group competition, beating Portugal itself (Lithuania remained last in the group), while the Netherlands were only ahead of German footballers.
It is true that Ronald Coeman was still in charge of the Dutch team in the qualifying tournament, who, after receiving an offer from Barcelona, gave up the position to another legendary compatriot, Frank de Boer. Ukrainians since 2016 are also coached by the country’s soccer legend Andrei Shevchenko.
EURO 2020: Netherlands – Ukraine
The Dutch team has become European champion only once: in 1988. The Dutch did not participate in the 2016 European Championship, and the Ukrainians did not overcome the barrier of the first stage.
We remind you that in this group’s match, which was played a little earlier on Sunday, the Austrian team defeated North Macedonia 3: 1. The meeting took place in Bucharest, the capital of Romania.
EURO 2020: Netherlands – Ukraine
Ukraine national team reduces the delay! Andrejus Jarmolenka suddenly missed the goal with a long shot. The goalkeeper is completely powerless – 1: 2.
Twenty minutes before the end of the game, the Ukrainian team finally organized an attack that ended with a shot from Roman Yaremchuk, but the ball found itself in the goal of Martin Stekelenburg.
An unusual decision for the Ukrainian team. Forward Marlos, who appeared in the first half after the substitution, is substituted after 20 minutes of play in the second half.
The Dutch, who scored the victory, are not rewarded, an attack from the hosts runs towards the door of the disturbed national team of Ukraine. In the end, it ends with another goal. Wout Weghorst powerfully sent the ball into the goal after a rather chaotic episode in the penalty area – 2: 0. The VAR system did not detect a remote rule violation.
Objective! 52 min. Georginio Wijnaldumas leads the Netherlands ahead – 1: 0. Goalkeeper Buščan tried to stop the Dutch’s quick attack, bouncing the ball in front of him and the hosts’ first defender hit the ball with a powerful shot. Http://twitter.com/br_goal/status/1404169174658727936
The second half of the game has started.
After the first half, the score is equal to 0: 0. The Dutch hit 11 times, the ball entered the goal area 3 times. Of the 5 shots from Ukraine, 2 entered the goal area. According to the ball, the advantage of the Netherlands is 61% / 39% .https: //twitter.com/EURO2020/status/1404166361073467393
The Ukrainian goalkeeper repels the hosts’ most dangerous blow yet: Bushchan reflexively reacts with his hand, bouncing the ball that has landed under Georg Wijnaldum’s kick and slightly changed the trajectory of the rebound flight.
Dutch defender Patrick van Aanholt hits the ball with a great free kick.
Andrei Jermolenka falls into the Dutch penalty area and calls for an 11-meter penalty, but referee Felix Brych does not respond to the requests and the game continues without interruption.
Andrei Shevchenko’s students are also feeling more and more courageous after the first barrage of attacks from the Dutch team, but so far their attacks do not pose much of a threat to the hosts’ goal.
The Dutch continue to play very actively and create attack after attack in the Ukrainian goal, but in the final phase of the attack the hosts still lack precision.
The match started at an extremely fast pace. The Dutch counterattack was completed with a dangerous shot from Memphis Depay, but the Ukrainian goalkeeper Georgijus Buščanas played successfully.
The match at the Amsterdam Stadium starts at 10 pm Lithuanian time https://twitter.com/EURO2020/status/1404162417119174657
