The Ukrainian national team on Thursday, November 13, lost to France with a crushing score of 4:0.

Blue-yellow midfielder Egor Nazarina commented on the results of the matches in the qualifying tournament for the 2026 World Cup.

- The first half, I think, was a success. France had no chances, only one shot. Zones were closed. I think that in the first half we successfully carried out the instructions that we were given for the game. First half - 0:0. In the second half, one might say, the penalty broke us a little, we opened up, zones appeared, so we conceded more. Unfortunately, we lost, but the most important thing is ahead of us.

The attack did not work at all for the Ukrainian national team. It was very difficult in this aspect.

- It was difficult. Everyone understands that we played with the French national team, all the players are top-level. But at the same time, I think that in the first half we went on the attack a couple of times, some chances could have appeared, we could have found a chance somewhere and scored. Also - a penalty... So, a little contradictory. I mean the one that was not delivered to us. Therefore, we will analyze and prepare for the next match.

Let us remind you that France qualified ahead of schedule for the World Cup, becoming the second European team after England.
