On Monday, October 13, the Ukrainian team defeated Azerbaijan with a score of 2:1. National team forward Artem Dovbik shared his impressions of the match of the 4th round of qualification for the 2026 World Cup. - When you play against national teams, there are no easy opponents. Everyone is tuning in, doing their best. Yes, we missed a goal in the locker room - it shook us up a little, but it’s good that it all ended in victory. The main thing is three points. The opponent scored from almost the only moment in the first half. We went out to the second half with a certain experience, or it was no longer there? - No, we set ourselves up to the fact that we need to score, we need to dominate, load their defenders, play faster so that they get tired and we can find our chances to score goals. Today the opponent played three central defenders, two of them constantly guarded you. How difficult was it to resist them - I don’t know, there were moments that I couldn’t realize. But I think this is even good: if they are focused on me, it means we have free space where the other player can use the numerical advantage and convert the chance.
