Nikolay Matvienko told what happened in the moment with the first capture of the gate. Defender of the national team of Ukraine Nikolay Matvienko considers the first ball of Iceland the key episode of the lost match of our team. "The game was more or less equal to this point. I think there was a judicial error that affected the game. They scored, wound up, the fans drove them forward. We had incomprehensible breaks, after which we missed again. Icelanders closed and calmly brought the match to a close. I remember this moment. I walked with this player, then Pyatov shouted "I!" And went to intercept. I stopped. Football player knocked Pyatov, the ball popped out, we missed. Such situation. The arbitrator took this decision.

Fighting is their game. In it the Icelanders won. As far as I know, Croats lost. We only need to win two matches, "- said Matvienko.
