In the first match of the competition for the fifth or eighth place in the qualifying tournament of the World Beach Games, the wards of Yevhen Varenytsia defeated the national team of Portugal and will now fight for the last ticket to San Diego.

After losing in the quarterfinals, the blue and yellows lost the chance to get a direct pass to the world forum. So our team had to fight for the last ticket to compete in San Diego, USA in the tournament for the fifth or eighth place.

And the Ukrainians successfully coped with the first part of the task. Today in Salou, Spain, they defeated the third team in the world rankings, the national team of Portugal, with a score of 5: 3.

In the first period, Yevhen Varenytsia's wards upset their rivals twice (Pachev, Zborovsky), conceding only one goal. The second 12-minute was "dry".

And then Medvid and Makeyev set to work, bringing the advantage of the blue-yellows to three goals. The Portuguese managed only to reduce the gap, and the match ended in favor of Ukraine - 5: 3.
