In the previous four matches of the Nations League, the Ukrainians have already lost three times. There was no longer talk of promotion in class; now the main task was to get into the zone of transition matches for the right to remain in the division. To do this, it was necessary to score more points, since teams that take third place in their groups enter the transition matches, with the exception of one team with the worst performance, it is eliminated directly.
The Ukrainian team needed to win in order not to become this worst team, but Pyatenko’s team did nothing to win. Playing the rebound and casting forward, sometimes individual actions – that’s all they tried to surprise the Poles with. Predictably, the Polish team did not have any special problems, they scored a goal after uncoordinated actions of the defenders and goalkeeper and were closer to increasing the gap than the Ukrainians were to equalize the score.
0:1 – now it will be necessary to defeat Serbia in the last round and hope for the failures of competitors in other groups, in particular, Slovenia. The prospects, to put it mildly, are not very good.
