If Andriy Pyatov plays against Serbia today, he will increase the number of his matches in the blue-yellow team to the 93rd. This will allow the captain to take a clean fifth place in the historical table of the guards of the main team of the country and bypass his current coach Alexander Shovkovsky, who has 92 fights.

According to official data, only 8 tickets were sold for the Serbia-Ukraine match. And this despite the fact that the stands of the arena "Raiko Mitic" are designed to receive 55 thousand spectators.

Interestingly, in order for the teams to enter the field on time, UEFA obliged them to leave the locker room 10 minutes before the start of the match. The reason is a long tunnel through which football players at the Raiko Mitic Stadium get from the locker rooms to the field.
