Both teams began a duel without high speeds. The game was mostly in the middle of the field and only occasionally the forwards of both teams bothered goalkeepers.
Our players started the attack very slowly, allowing the Finns to quickly return to the line of the ball. Ukrainians, like in the shameful game with Malta, lacked integrity in terms of attacks. The attack was long, stiff and the rival managed to quickly rebuild.
As for the team that came to Finland only after the victory and should play the first number, in the first half the Ukrainians created very little, almost never entering the penalty area suomi.
In the second half, the drawing of the game changed. "Blue-yellow" pressed his opponent to the gate, and after 7 minutes opened an account. Yarmolenko gave a masterpiece pass to Malinovsky, Ruslan struck the goalkeeper, but the finisher successfully played Konoplyanka, having issued the 14th ball for the national team.
The Finns took 10 minutes to recover and regroup, after which the game gradually moved closer to Pyatov. Ukrainian footballers tried to respond with flanking attacks, but none of the 100% -speaking moment was created, and instead they themselves brought a goal.
At that moment Ukraine needed to show character, and she did it. In less than 4 minutes, when Besedin again brought our team forward. The remaining time the guests tried to organize the assault, but they did not give the second goal.
