Bannikov Memorial: Ukraine's national team won its second victory in the tournament

The youth national team of Ukraine U-17 won another victory at the tournament, beating the youth national team of Lithuania in the second round - 3: 1.

On August 16, the second round of the Victor Bannikov memorial took place in Ukraine.  

Ukraine national team after victory over Slovakia met with the Lithuanian team. The Lithuanians lost to the national team in the first match Georgia (1: 2), so the game against the Ukrainians became decisive for them. The hosts, who are trying to leave the trophy at home this year, did not intend to rest on their laurels.

Therefore, Volodymyr Yezerskyi took the team seriously for the match with Lithuania, which bore fruit at the beginning of the game. Despite the fact that, compared to the match with the Slovaks, the starting lineup of the blue-yellows has undergone significant changes, they started the game with Lithuania very strongly. Already one of the first attacks of Ukrainians led to a corner, which became effective. The ball was sent to the goal of the Lithuanians by the central defender Ilya Zabarny, who came on the field with a captain's armband.

The hosts did not stop there and soon received congratulations again. In the 14th minute, Edward Kobak realized his chance by scoring the second goal. The Lithuanians tried to bring down the attacking fervor of the hosts with several fouls, but the Ukrainians were not stopped. At the end of the first half, they again managed a productive attack. This time Kobak was on the right flank and shot into the penalty area, where the most agile was Danil Skorko.

As in the previous match, after the break, Volodymyr Yezersky made several substitutions, giving playing practice to other players of the national team. The hosts continued to play on the score and brought the match to victory, giving, however, the guests the opportunity to score the ball of prestige, which they spent from the penalty spot after an annoying mistake of the Ukrainians in their penalty area.
