The team of Mikhail Fomenko pleased with the quality of the game, but to upset the reigning champion of “blue-yellow” are unable.
Except for one position in midfield starting lineup of the national team of Ukraine was read – Fomenko trust the young Viktor Kovalenko debuted in official matches in the main team of the country. Otherwise everything is familiar – Pyatov made a save on the last turn, Fedetskyy and Shevchuk on the flanks of the defense, Rakitskiy and Khacheridi in the center, Stepanenko and sydorchuk in midfield, Konoplyanka and Yarmolenko in the role of wingers, and cuckoo at the point of attack.
The starting moments of the match were encouraging – already in the fifth minute Konoplyanka forced Neuer to come into play after a sumptuous long-range strike. The Germans a sharp attack on the opponent’s appreciated – for the next 20 minutes, Ukraine was forced to retreat in defense. Unfortunately, this cut fell missed the ball, Mustafi after the filing of Kroos’s free-kick away from the Drawing and headed the ball into the near top corner of Pyatov’s goal.
Midway through the half, Ukraine has been a dangerous outing for an opener, this time from the second floor punched Khacheridi, but Neuer in a brilliant jump has translated a ball on angular. Immediately my colleague said Pyatov, who attack Kediri.
The end of the first half left for the national team of Ukraine – in the 37th minute, Konoplyanka failed to adjust to a perfect pass from Konoplyanka, but Boateng managed to clear the ball from empty gate. Five shots on goal, seven corner is filed – this time the Ukrainians obviously can bring itself into an asset.
After the break came on the pitch the other team Germany – world Champions at the expense of an exemplary ball control as that was a daring opponents to actively move forward. From a free-kick for Rakitskiy and unsuccessful attempts to win the “air” after numerous corner is all that the Germans helped to create Ukraine.
In turn, Pyatov had to regularly come into play – the goalkeeper of Shakhtar rescued after long strikes Khedira, Muller, Draxler and Gotze.
When the expired minute of stoppage time, Ukrainians went to the final assault on the gate Noyer – Rakitskiy tried sharpening a transfer to bring the shock position Zinchenko, but instead the Germans made a counterattack, which technical goal completed only released on the Bastian Schweinsteiger.
