In a series of penalties, Vladimir Yezersky's wards were stronger than the masters of the competition — Czech national team.

The final of the Vaclav Ježek tournament took place today in the Czech Republic, where the national teams of Ukraine and the Czech Republic met.

The fight turned out to be tense, no one wanted to give up. The Czechs had more possession of the ball as hosts, but Volodymyr Yezersky's charges tried to run out on a counterattack at the first opportunity. However, none of the rivals managed to score the ball in 90 minutes, so the fate of the trophy was decided in a series of post-match penalties, which was better performed by the blue-yellows, winning 3: 2.

Note the successful actions in the goal of the goalkeeper of "Dnipro-1" Myroslav Znovenko, who twice parried the blows of the Czechs, and once again the opponent scored past the goal. Brazhko, Kuzyk and Chidomere took penalties as part of our team.

Recall that in the history of the tournament, which has been held since 1994, the national team of Ukraine became the triumphant of competitions for the fifth time.
