Ukraine rejoices - in the second round they managed to defeat Slovakia and keep their chances to advance further in the European football championship. The match ended 2:1 in favor of the yellow team.

At the beginning of the match, the Ukrainians were a bit sluggish again, while the Slovaks started excellently. In the 17th minute, Ivan Schranzas led Calzona's players forward.

Ukraine had several dangerous opportunities in the second half of the first period. However, the Slovaks maintained their lead.

Ukraine equalized after a beautiful attack following the break. In the heat of the attack, Mykola Shaparenko defeated Martin Dubravka.

In the 80th minute, Serhiy Rebrov's troops expanded their victory. After Shaparenko's long pass, Roman Yaremchuk skillfully stopped the ball and sent it past the goal line.

With this victory, Ukraine kept all their chances to move on to the next stage of the European championship. However, in the match against Belgium, they will most likely need at least a draw.

Slovakia still has 3 points on their account. The other two teams in Group F, Romania and Belgium, will play their match tomorrow at 22:00.
