In the first match of the tournament, Oleg Kuznetsov's wards lost to Wales.

Today, the youth national team of Ukraine (U-17) started the match against Wales in the qualifying round of Euro-2022 (U-17). The first half of the match with the British in the blue and yellow clearly did not work out. Apparently, there were signs of excitement, because in 45 minutes, Oleg Kuznetsov's wards were unable to break into the opponent's goal at least once. The Welsh fired two shots, one of which, in the 44th minute, was effective. 1: 0.

With the starting whistle for the second half, the Ukrainians went forward with great force. Suffice it to say that until the 55th minute, the blue-yellows struck five shots on goal, but then missed the goal. However, even after that, the national team of Ukraine did not give up. The Kremlin shot dangerously, but the Welsh goalkeeper saved his team. And yet the blue and yellows scored their ball. In the 76th minute, Balaba responded to Mykytiuk's pass. 2: 1. But at least the Ukrainian national team failed to equalize. Moreover, the British scored the third goal in the 83rd minute, which was the last in this meeting.

Now Oleg Kuznetsov's wards have no choice but to beat Kazakhstan and Portugal, otherwise the ticket to the elite round may be in question.
