The Netherlands from the beginning took possession of the ball, and the team of Alexander Golovko could only count on a counterattack.

One of them was held in the 20th minute when Marjan Swede broke into someone else's penalty area and fell in the fight with his rival. Despite the protests of the “yellow-blue”, the referee did not appoint a penalty.

“Orange” immediately responded with their own counterbalance, which ended with a goal.. The defender of the Ukrainians in the subcategory tried to intercept the ball in the center of the field, but only threw it on the course of Zivkovic, who found Kluivert in the penalty area, and the forward Roma calmly accepted the ball and delivered an aimed blow to the far corner.

The Netherlands managed to almost double the advantage. Zivkovic was the first on the ball and three minutes later he added a goal to the transfer..

During the break, Alexander Golovko made two substitutions at once - instead of Zubkov and Luchkevich, Boryachuk and Tretyakov took the field. However, it was not possible to change the course of the game with “yellow-blue”, and in the 78th minute Zivkovic again freed himself from custody and designed a double - 3: 0.

Thus, the national team of Ukraine U-21 completed the selection in third position, gaining 17 points in 10 matches, and failed to make it into the final part of Euro 2019.

Despite the victory and second place in the group, the Netherlands did not succeed either, because they were not among the four strongest second teams.. In addition to the host of the tournament, Italy, the final stage includes the strongest teams of nine qualifying groups and two playoff winners.. Moreover, only four out of nine second teams make their way to the joints, which have the best performance in matches from the first, third, fourth and fifth national teams (an outsider is eliminated).

Netherlands U-21 - Ukraine U-21 3: 0.
