In the qualifying match Euro-2021 U21 Ukraine’s youth team beat the Romanians (1: 0) thanks to a goal from Serhiy Buletsa from an extremely dubious penalty.
However, the Ukrainian national team maintained the theoretical chances of reaching Euro 2021 U21 Sport.ua considers the probability of such an event extremely illusory.
Current situation in the group: Denmark – 22 points (8 games), Romania – 16 (8 games), Ukraine – 10 (7 games).
For second place Ukraine need three wins in the remaining matches plus the mandatory loss of points Romania in both parties, with Malta and Denmark.
The first additional criterion is personal meetings, and Ukraine is inferior in this indicator to Romania (1: 0 at home, 0: 3 away). Ukraine has two games left against Northern Ireland and one game against Malta. In case of three wins, Ukraine will score 19 points, and it is necessary that Romania (which has 16 points so far) does not score more than two points in the home games against Malta and Denmark.
Unfortunately, Romania can close all theoretical line-ups as early as October 13, if Malta wins at home. In the first round on the road, the Romanian youth team confidently defeated the Maltese with a score of 3: 0.
Loss of points Romania at home against malt October 13 is an extremely unlikely outcome.
Even if Ukraine is lucky enough to come in second place, this does not mean reaching Euro 2021 U21. Only the first 5 second teams from 9 groups will get tickets to the final. And the theoretically possible 13 points (the results of matches with the outsider of the group are cut off when calculating), most likely, they will not be enough to become one of them.
