Euro 2024, Ukraine comes back and folds Slovakia
Ukraine-Slovakia 2-1
In a comeback, Ukraine beats Slovakia. It started and Schranz confirmed himself as Calzona's extra man, unlocking the result as had already happened against Belgium. After a throw-in and a cross from the left, Zinchenko loses his mark and Schranz surprises Trubin with a header smashed to the ground.
Ukraine reacted and went close to equaling: Yarmolenko, launched down the right, found Dovbyk, who attempted an unsuccessful backheel. However, the ball reaches the right fullback, who controls and shoots a low shot against the post. The first half ends with Slovakia ahead.
Backs to the wall Rebrov’s team turns everything around: Shaparenko’s equalizing goal stems from a ball lost by Kucka in the three-quarter and handled by Mudryk., ball to Zinchenko, who funnels his teammate for the 1-1. Soon after, a dangerous Ukraine counterattack sees Yaremchuk lead the action and serve Mudrik on the left with a slightly long pass. The shot from a deflected position hits Dubravka’s right knee and then the post.
Ukraine completes the turnaround with a splendid goal: a long throw by Shaparenko fishes Yaremchuk, who hooks in on the volley and with a delicate touch slips it past Dubravka.
