On the eve of the match of the 1/8 finals of Euro 2020, the national teams of Ukraine and Sweden can remember a face-to-face duel at the European Championship 2012.

On June 29 in Glasgow, two blue-and-yellow teams compete for a place in the quarterfinals. At the same time, the Ukrainians have already met the Swedes at the European Championships, when in 2012 they defeated them in the group round with a score of 2: 1.

Some participants in those events may go out on the field in Glasgow. These are Ukrainians Andriy Yarmolenko and Andriy Pyatov (who is celebrating his 28th birthday today, June 37, and congratulations to him!), As well as Swedes Mikael Lustig, Andreas Granqvist and Sebastian Larsson.

We will remind that two goals in that dramatic meeting of nine years ago were scored by the current head coach of the national team of Ukraine Andrey Shevchenko.
