WU-16 girls' national team starts UEFA development tournament in Finland with defeat against hosts

On May 13, the Ukrainian girls' national team WU-16, composed of players born in 2003-2004, failed to start at the tournament in Finland.

Serhiy Sapronov's team started a mini-tournament, which is part of the UEFA Development Program and in which, in addition to our team, the national teams of Finland, Switzerland and Lithuania take part.

In the opening match at the Erikkila Arena near Helsinki, the Ukrainians met with the hosts of the competition. Our girls had a better first half than their rivals. Already in the 10th minute, Inna Glushchenko's shot brought the blue-yellows forward. However, the second half of the game was left to the Finns. 

In the 57th minute, midfielder Annie Huttunen equalized. And when it seemed that the match would end in a draw, she made a double and brought victory to Finland.
