U-21: Ukraine's youth team confidently beat the Macedonian team

Winning the Blue and Yellows in the Antalya International Tournament Cup 2019 brought accurate blows to Vantukh, Smirny and Topalov.

The second day on tournaments in Turkey proved to be much better for the Ukrainian national team than the first. If in the match against the Estonians was recorded a draw (the result of this meeting for the blue-yellows was not included), then in the match against the national team of Macedonia Ruslan Rotan's wards celebrated the victory with a score of 3: 1.

Before this game, the coaching staff faced staffing problems. The fact is that Nazariy Rusyn got to the hospital, and Yevhen Serdyuk has not yet recovered from the injury. But the coaches hope that by the next two matches in the tournament, these strikers will recover. It is good that in the team and without them there was someone to score.

Roman Vantuh opened the score after 7 minutes. Later in the first half, the Ukrainian team looked more convincing, though under the very curtain of 45 minutes the Macedonians could equalize, but the cool reaction was shown by the goalkeeper of blue and yellow Eugene Kucherenko.

The second half did not make much adjustments to the game, except that the Macedonians tried to control the ball more, but thanks to this, the Ukrainians were able to hit the opponent's goal twice more on counterattacks. Yevhen Smyrny scored in the 70th minute, and Dmytro Topalov scored in the 83rd. All the Macedonian national team managed to do was score one goal in the 85th minute. 3: 1.
