Czech Republic - Ukraine. It was not possible to score blue and yellow: as it was
At the level of national teams, Ukraine played two matches (both friendly) with the Czech Republic and did not win any.
In Prague on September 6, 2011, the hosts simply crushed Oleg Blokhin's team - 4: 0. In each of the two halves, they scored fast balls, which greatly affected the psychological state of the Ukrainians.
Perhaps the most important was the first ball, which was "organized" for us by Vyacheslav Shevchuk - a dangerous kick in his own penalty area. And already in the 12th minute Ukraine lost - 0: 2. The corner kick led to a mess in the defense of the guests and the home team's goal. Blokhin's charges tried to recover, high hopes were pinned on the conversation during the break and the second half, but Michal Bilek had a better conversation with the players, and in the 47th minute the Czech Republic scored for the third time. And on the 51st - put an end.
Ukraine: Dykan, Guy (RAKITSKYY, 46), Tymoschuk, Kucher, KRIVTSOV, YARMOLENKO (Kalinichenko, 85), Shevchuk (Fedetsky, 76), KONOPLYANKA (Voronin, 51), Butko, Maiden (Shinder, 80), Milevsky (57) ).
The names of the football players, who are currently called up to the national team of Ukraine, are highlighted.
It should be noted that the game in Prague was the debut in our national team for Serhiy Kryvtsov (he had to wait another five years for the second match) and Anton Shinder (he played again and ended his career in the national team). Maksym Kalinichenko, on the other hand, last appeared in Prague in the form of a national team, for which he played 47 matches and scored seven goals.
Almost a year later, on August 15, 2012, the rivals met again, this time in Lviv. But Blokhin failed to take revenge on Bilek - 0: 0.
Ukraine: PYATOV, Butko, KHACHERIDI, RAKITSKY, Selin, Tymoschuk (Rotan, 46), Garmash (Bezus, 72), Zozulya, KONOPLYANKA (Gusev, 46), Devych (STEPANENKO, 71), SELEZNELOV (46).
It was Blokhin's penultimate match at the helm of the national team: in the fall he agreed to lead Dynamo Kyiv, leaving the Ukrainian national team after the first match of the qualifying round for the 2014 World Cup. We remember how difficult the cycle was - precisely because of the point losses suffered at the start of the selection after the departure of Blokhin.
In the years that have passed since then, the Czechs have completely changed their composition. Only Theodor Gebre Selassie took part in both matches with Ukraine, and Josef Huschbauer made his debut in Lviv.
