U-21: the youth national team of Ukraine from defeat started at the Tournament of Valery Lobanovsky

In the match against Azerbaijan, Ruslan Rotan's team missed the only goal in the first half and could not answer the opponent.

During the current training camp, three matches are planned in the youth national team of Ukraine, two of which are within the framework of the Valery Lobanovsky International Tournament. Ruslan Rotan's wards had to defend the title they won in 2019 (no competitions were held in 2020).

Due to coronavirus problems, the "youth" of Tunisia could not come to Kyiv, so in addition to the hosts, teams from Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan applied for the tournament. It was with the Azerbaijanis that the blue and yellows started at these competitions.

From the first minutes, the guests surprised the Ukrainians to some extent with their activity. Already in the 1st minute there was a danger near our goal, but Eliza from the left flank of the attack scored past the goal. The national team of Azerbaijan played closely with Ukrainian football players, who could not organize a decent response. And while the game was mostly in the center of the field, in the 17th minute in one of the attacks Milan Obradovich's wards earned a standard, which proved to be effective. Elizada from the left flank passed to the far post, and there the most agile of all was Gurbanli. 0: 1.

After the missed ball, the Ukrainians became more active, the ball became more frequent in the half of the Azerbaijanis, but Ruslan Rotan's team was able to create a goal only once. In the 35th minute Mudryk took advantage of an opponent's mistake and passed to the center on Ocheretko, but the shot did not work. True, on the far post he could have locked up the pruning of Supryag's partner, but the attacker from above the killer position struck above the goal. Sikan had another chance, but Danilo failed to score from the goal line.

The second 45-minute period began with attacks by the Ukrainian national team, which, even if it did not press the opponent to the goal, began to inflate the situation near his penalty area. There were enough preconditions for scoring, but the most dangerous moment in the debut of the half was only for Vanat, who did not have enough to hit the target at close range.

Minutes from the 70's Azerbaijanis began to drag on. The advantage in possession of the ball of the Ukrainians was total, but with the sharpness at the gates of the guests there were problems. In addition, in the 77th minute, Oleg Ocheretko was injured and asked to replace the team's motor. However, the same Vanat could have become the savior of the blue-yellows, but in the 81st, 87th and 90 + 3 minutes the goalkeeper of the Azerbaijanis reacted closely to his shots.

As a result, Ruslan Rotan's wards did not manage to win back, which made the task of winning the current Valery Lobanovsky Tournament very difficult.
