The Ukrainian youth team could not overcome Lithuania in the match of the fifth round of the selection for Euro 2027 (U-21) - the match in Kosice ended with a 1:1 draw.

The first half ended in an even battle without any goals scored. The Ukrainians controlled the ball more, but there weren’t many dangerous moments. Danilo Krevsun and Volodymyr Gusol looked most active in the attack, but there was no real threat to the goal on the right.

After the interruption, Una Melgosi added to the aggression and opened up the rakhunok on the 61st hvilina. Illya Pastukh delivered a cross from the left flank, and Danilo Krevsun completed the pass at long range - 1:0.

However, the victory of the Ukrainians has not lasted long. Already in the 70th season, the Lithuanians made a rakhunok: after Steponavichus's cross, the ball curiously kicked off at the gates of Ukraine - 1:1.

At the end of the season, the “Blues” tried to win, created a number of chances, stopping after Oleksiy Gusev’s cross and Illya Pishchur’s shot, but the opponent’s goal went in. The pouch has nothing, as it does not control the Ukrainian team.

After five rounds, Ukraine has only one victory, two draws and two defeats, which greatly complicate the fight for qualification to the final part of the tournament.

Leaving the other place, where Croatia sits, has already taken five points, and the competitors have a match in reserve.
