If someone believed in the idea that this youth squad would go to Switzerland , then dissipated when the starting lineups were announced. Ruslan Rotan pitched all the strongest players he had to the final selection game. It is curious that during the qualification the mentor of the young “yellow-blue” regularly shuffled the composition, but not now. One of the reasons for this is that even the application was incomplete. Therefore, there were not many options.
The fight, despite the score, was difficult for our team. The British quickly adapted to the snow conditions and attacked more before the break. Not to say that the offense was dangerous, but at intervals we couldn’t link multiple passes in the snow to get closer to someone else’s gates. However, as already mentioned, the Northern Irishmen did not have a special quality in the attack either, so the zeros before the break can be considered natural. Although, each of the rivals created a cool moment. We have Kuharevich, who played an excellent game, threw the ball to his chest after a flank kick, but did not close, slipping. They have Bansalu-McNulty rebounding from mid-range, he kissed beautifully, Trubin parked in front of him and Lavery finished awkwardly, giving the ball to the Ukrainian goalkeeper.
The debut of the second part was not for us either. Lavery served from the right wing, and the projectile flew over the goalkeeper and flew from the bar onto the field. A few minutes after a corner kick, the ball hit Baboglo’s hand in his own penalty area, which the referees did not notice. The VAR would definitely not miss out.
The match, I must admit, ended scoreless. But halfway through the 45th minute, the Alexandrian link was played: Vantukh leaked from a corner, Baboglo closed. Already in the next attack, the selection in the opponent’s half led to the second goal, when Isayenko completed a combination in which almost all the players in the attack group participated. Kuharevich finished off the rival: the Northern Ireland defenders framed their goalkeeper, making an unsuccessful back pass. If Webber Wantuha got ahead of the ball, he couldn’t repeat the same with the Kolos striker.
After such a blow, the guests lost interest in football, playing. The hosts, however, were not rushed either.
Ukraine completes the selection in third place in the group, which contributes nothing in terms of reaching the European Championship. Above us are Denmark and Romania. Three points behind: Finland, Northern Ireland and Malta. Ruslan Rotan and his team have many questions in the current selection. The mentor has repeatedly argued that this is due to the age difference between the “yellow-blue” and the rivals. So, let’s see how true this is in the next rating.
