Alexander Petrakov's team went to the elite round of the European Championship without any problems, not missing a single ball in three matches.

The last match in the UEFA Europa League Qualifying Round (U-2020), against the Portuguese, turned into a formality for Alexander Petrakov's team after the results of two rounds of blue and yellow secured their way into the elite round of the European Championship. However, no one canceled the task of playing decent with a tournament favorite.

The match itself was not full of many goal moments. In general, suffice it to say that the Portuguese national team has never bothered our goalkeeper with a direct shot on goal. The Ukrainians did not inflate the situation, but played on the score. As a result, Oleksandr Petrakov's team achieved a result that suited them - a draw. This gave the blue and yellows the opportunity to win their group in the qualifying round.
