Head coach of the Ukrainian women's national team Volodymyr Pyatenko commented on the victory of his players in the Euro 2025 qualifying match against Kosovo (4:0).

“Today’s super girls were overplayed, they practically didn’t give the opportunity to leave the heady half of the field. Everyone was concluding a great volume of work. During the break we made substitutions - we took care of the girls who had been on bad cards.

Well done girls. We got together early, trained in post-release mode, or brought the players to game tone. Although there were chances in the other half, we could have scored, but we didn’t convert them. Menshe, ale buli.

These victories are needed. The team is already losing control over the game. Little bits were licked at the other halves. The first time of Viishov is expensive. Save energy before the game with Croatia.

I think we prepared well before the match. The first game didn’t have a lot of sales, but here the sales improved. This is the merit of the girls, they felt like they were in themselves after the matches from Wels. Implementation is the inheritance of your wealth.

How to stand in front of the team in the rest of the match? Peremoga. We need to address our skin concerns and bring positivity not only to ourselves but also to our patients.

Having told the girls before the game that we want to bring positive things to Ukraine through our game, then the task is over. And positivity means victory. They know who they’re playing for,” says Pyatenka Suspilne Sport.

After the match against Kosovo, Ukraine gained a full point and is in third place in the group. Now the Blues have secured their place in the playoffs.

Ukraine will play its next match against Croatia. We'll be here on the 16th of June.
