Technical Director of FFU Oleg Protasov commented on the situation with the Ukrainian national team U-17, which was credited with the technical defeat in the match of the elite round of Euro-2018.

Ukraine defeated the Serbs, but the game was attended by two disqualified players.

In the rules of the tournament in paragraph 45. 02 it is written that yellow cards do not burn during the entire qualifying tournament, which consists of a qualifying round and an elite round.

Players received cards in the last qualifying round match against Ireland in October 2017. And in the first match of the elite round against Spain in March 2018.

"In this situation, with disqualified football players, the overlay turned out. Most likely, this is a mistake on our part. What will we do next - I can not yet say. We will wait for the solution and we will decide.

Who in FFU will be responsible for this error? It's too early to talk about this. We just finished the tournament. We will understand why this happened, and who is to blame, "said Protasov, who is quoted by Tribuna. com.

After a technical defeat, the U-17 team dropped from the second pass to the third. On the Euro goes Serbia.

Ukrainians went to the European Championships in 2016 and 2017.
