Sweden – Ukraine: this is how we live the game, reactions

The game in 60 seconds

Glasgow was the scene of another great match in the round of 16 of a final phase that is standing out for the number of goals and the alternatives for many teams. Mykola Shaparenko, Emil Forsberg, Roman Yaremchuk (the latter ran into a Robin Olsen paradon) and Alexander Isak starred in the notices about what was to come …

Before reaching the half hour of play, Shaparenko drew a perfect diagonal from left to right, winger Oleksandr Karavaev combined with Andriy Yarmolenko to let the magic flow. The West Ham United footballer invented an outdoor center that Oleksandr Zinchenko defined to perfection. First goal for the versatile Manchester City player in this EURO and Ukrainian joy.

Emil Forsberg was the busiest in Sweden. He leaves with four goalsPOOL/AFP via Getty Images–

Forsberg, the most active and with better judgment in the Scandinavians alongside Kulusevski, fired with his left foot from outside the area to make it 1-1 in 43 ‘. The second half had no goals, but it was not for lack of opportunities. Serhiy Sydorchuk (55 ‘) and Forsberg, twice (56’ and 69 ‘), collided with the wood. In addition, Ukrainian goalkeeper Georgiy Bushchan avoided the 2-1 through Kulusevski. The same thing that happened on the other side with Olsen appearing in front of Yarmolenko. The extension was irremediable.

In extra time, Sweden were left with ten by sending Marcus Danielson off in the 98th minute and Ukraine took a step forward. There was still a clear chance to try to unbalance the 1-1 and it came when the minute 120 was already exceeded. Zinchenko, author of the 0-1, put a perfect cross for Dovbyk to make his debut as an absolute scorer and put his team into a quarter historical end.

Every Match Star at EURO 2020

Artem Dovbyk is a 24-year-old forward who in his early career has already played for three clubs in Ukraine, one in Moldova and two in Denmark. He came to this EURO 2020 with two games as an absolute international (none as a starter) and in this final phase he made his debut when entering the 106 ‘. 15 minutes later he took all the covers. Goal and go to the quarters. Once again, another story that the EURO leaves us.

Reactions

Andriy Shevchenko, Ukraine coach: “Both teams played very well. It was an interesting match. Neither of us wanted to lose, so we had this drama at the end. With this performance and commitment, our team has deserved the affection of the whole country.”

Oleksandr Zinchenko, Ukraine defender: “It is a historic achievement. My advice to all: let’s celebrate, we only live once and we may not repeat these moments again.”

Emil Forsberg, Sweden midfielder: “It’s tough. I think we were the best team, we conceded an unnecessary goal and then we crashed against the post and the crossbar. We deserved more, but today it was not like that.”

Dejan Kulusevski, Sweden forward: “This is not how it had to end. Last night I said: ‘Football is cruel’ while watching France. Today it was our turn to experience it. Football gives a lot, but it takes even more.”
