Today, February 18, the Ukrainian U-18 national team played its other test match against Italy at the initial training camp in Rome, in which it achieved a minimal victory with a 1:0 score.

The offended mentors experimented with each other and made a lot of substitutions even after the first match, which ended in a draw (2:2).

The only goal of the match was scored at the end of the first half, when the Ukrainians picked up the ball in the opposing half of the field and gave it to Kirill Serdyuk, who went all the way to the penalty area and accurately shot at the far corner.

Apparently, the training camp at Rima took place as part of the preparation of the national team for the first round of the Euro 2027 selection, where the opponents of the Blues will be the Czech Republic, Finland and Estonia.

The mini-tournament will take place from 25 to 31 February in Finland.
