Ukraine entered the meeting cold. It was difficult for Shevchenko’s team to take command against a much lower team, who for the first half hour tried you to you. But when you are inferior to your rival you have to do everything well to get something positive and as the minutes passed that was not the case.. In 36 ‘with Cyprus overturned in the attack in a corner in favor, Sweden would go ahead. The visitors did everything wrong and the yellow team was lethal. Still with everything Panayiotou had the option to fix it, but he also failed in his work. The winger was able to clear, but his action became a gift for a Zubkov faster than his rival. Outcome: the Cypriot defender had to commit a penalty with the subsequent expulsion and Yarmolenko, from the penalty spot, did not miss.

The numerical inferiority of the visitors did nothing but unbalance the forces even more. Ukraine found holes again and again on the Cypriot left wing with an inspired Yarmolenko. Already in the added time, the West Ham end found oil on its side. After snaking inside the area, he introduced a center that hit Ioannou’s hand … and penalty. This time it was Zinchenko who was in charge of launching it and it did not fail either. The second part did not vary much in its script. And more with the input of Marlos, the veteran Shakhtar forward, claimed assists for the next two goals. The first of them beautifully made after a combination between him and Yarmolenko, so that Yaremchuk will score on an empty goal. In the fourth, a pass was taken out of the hat with the outside to Yaremchuk, who scored with a strong shot after deflecting the ball by a defender. The result did not change again and it was not due to the lack of enthusiasm of the locals, who failed again and again in each arrival they had. Ukraine is already waiting for the Netherlands.
