The national team of Ukraine before leaving home has lost the third match in the group stage of Euro 2016.
Without goals and points – it was the European championship for the national team of Ukraine. In the final match with the poles, the “blue-yellow” had a chance to rectify the situation – the charges of Mykhailo Fomenko have really entered the field to fight for the result, however, was not enough to remove the two zeros in own statistics.
By the third minute the poles were able to go ahead with the strike Pyatov coped Milik and Lewandowski shot just over the crossbar. Ukrainians gradually settled and started to respond to their threat points. The output of rotan added to the team much-needed creativity – that after the transfer of midfielder “Dnepr” open account could Yarmolenko, but from a lethal position has punched poorly frankly. Their chances were at Konoplyanka and Zozulya, active front Zinchenko. All is good, but where are the goals?
And the goal came in the gate the net on 54 minutes Blaszczykowski after a corner received the ball in the penalty area easily held off the defender’s powerful shot struck the far corner of the goal. Then the Cabbage almost buried Ukraine – the ball passed in centimetres from the rod.
Before the final whistle, the Ukrainians tried to change the subject, but with all the positional attacks Poland confidently managed. Last chance to equalise was from rotan – shot the veteran in the near corner caught Fabian.
Separately on the coaching staff – about the absence of attempts to enhance the game and will not speak. But replace Tymoshchuk in zozuli is the quintessence of the actions of Mikhail Fomenko. Soon the team will have a new head coach.
