Euro2020 1/8 final match review: Sweden - Ukraine
The Swedes will not pull the cat for all the details. But Sweden doesn't like to be number one. Most likely, Ukraine will have the ball. But will they be able not to miss after the counterattack? This is the main question.
Review of the first half of the 1/8 finals of Euro2020: Sweden - Ukraine
For the first two minutes, the Ukrainians held the ball well. But the Swedes were able to take it away. On the 7th minute Forsberg punched, the shot was blocked. In the 10th minute, Shaparenko shoots towards the goal. But, really, it is completely inaccurate! Yarmolenko gives a pass to Yaremchuk in the 11th minute. The forward shoots on target. The goalkeeper parries.
On the 19th minute, Isak shoots towards the goal, but misses the frame. On the 27th minute, Yarmolenko cut a gorgeous pass into the Swedish penalty area. Zinchenko shoots hard and accurately. He scores. Ukraine took the lead: 0 - 1.
In the 30th minute, Laroson shoots on target with a free-kick. He hits the target. Buschan takes it out and transfers it to the corner. On the 32nd minute, the match flew to Yarmolenko in the Swedish penalty area. But the right kick didn't work out. The ball flew high over the bar.
After the goal was scored, Ukraine gave up the initiative. But the Swedes could not take advantage of this. Apparently, both teams do not know how to play number one. They are used to counter-attacking play. The Swedes did not know how to open the Ukrainian bloc.
But still, on the 43rd minute, the same ubiquitous Forsberg scores. Ukraine could not hold back the onslaught of the Swedes. The opponents fought back in the first half. The referee added only a minute to the first half.
Review of the second half of the 1/8 finals of Euro2020: Sweden - Ukraine
The scenario for the second half was identical to the first. On the 53rd minute Stepanenko nailed wide. At 54-1, Lrrsson responds with his inaccurate shot. On 55- already Sidorchuk breaks through and hits the rack. But from the far side. The ball goes off the field line.
On the 57th, the Swedes flee in a counterattack. Forsberg hits and hits the post. IN 60 minutes, Isak shoots wide. And the referee fixes the offside position.
In the 66th minute, Kulushevski shoots dangerously on target, but Buschan pulls. On the 67th, Ukraine runs away in a counterattack. Yarmolenko punches straight into the hands of the goalkeeper. In the 69th minute, Forsberg was able to move and shot. Hit the crossbar.
Gradually, the speeds dropped to almost a minimum. At this pace, the main time ended. The referee added 2 minutes to the regular time. Regular time ends in a draw: 1 - 1.
Additional time
First extra half
The continuation of the match turned out to be the same, sticky. Neither team wanted to risk it. At 98 minutes, Danielsson breaks the rules against Besedin. He played with a straight leg in the knee of the forward of Ukraine. Besedin was carried away from the field. The referee showed yellow, but after watching TV, he changed his mind and the Swedish player gets a straight red.
Instead of Besedin, Tsygankov comes out. Ukraine in the majority. Sweden finally sat down on the defensive. At the 105th minute, Zinchenko served in the opponent's penalty area. But the ball hit Kraft in the head. The defender was brought to his senses with difficulty.
The referee finished the pressure for the first extra half for 3 minutes. On 104 minutes Forsberg shoots towards the goal of Ukraine, but misses the target. Already at this time, Krivtsov falls. But still, it remains in the game. After that, Yarmolenko was on the lawn. We replayed not 3, but 5 minutes.
Second extra half
On the 111th minute, Dovbik received an amazing pass from Malinovsky. Immediately, the forward breaks through, but above the gate. Also offside. On the 112th minute, Berg received a knee blow to the head from the defender of Ukraine. At the 117th minute, Malinovskiy shoots wide of the gate.
On the 119th minute already, who had just come on as a substitute, Bezus fell to the lawn. He had problems with his shoulder. The referee also adds 3 minutes to the second extra half. At 120 + 2 minutes, Dovbik flies out from behind the Swedish defender and scores a goal. Ukraine comes forward. Dovbik scores the first goal for the national team. Moreover, a very important goal!
