The Ukrainian national team player Egor Nazarina shared his thoughts about the 2026 Emergency Selection match against France, in which the Ukrainians lost 0:4.
" Another half - penalties broke us. We cheered up - we missed more. Unfortunately, we lost, but the most important game is ahead. France squeezed out in the first half, otherwise there was no waiting for the moment so that the stinks could be clogged.
They gave a penalty, our threes cheered up, we tried to exert more pressure. There were zones and a supernik with them quickly,” naming Nazarin in the comments for Suspilne Sport.
After five rounds of qualification, the Ukrainian team sits third in the group, while France has secured its ticket to the 2026 World Cup.
The upcoming match Ukraine plays against Iceland in the remaining round of the selection, which will take place in the week of November 16, about 19:00 Kyiv time.
