The match started without reconnaissance. The attacks of the Scottish national team, which was considered the favorite of this match, were combined with the counterattacks of the Ukrainian team. The swings of the first 20 minutes of the match were marked by sharp moments by Cuthbert and Harrison, while the guests responded with promising chances for Ovdiychuk and Andrukhiv.
The Ukrainians felt brave in the combination game, which the coaching staff of Luis Cortes has been trying to instill in the team since the first days of training, and the search for opportunities in the attack ended with a goal in the 23rd minute. Petryk took Kravchuk on a date with the goalkeeper with a split pass in the center, and Roksolana sent the ball exactly into the far bottom corner.

However, the best goal opportunity that the hosts created in the first 45 minutes came after a mistake by the blue and yellows.

Scotland dominated most of the second half. Cortes' wards found it difficult to overcome the high pressure of rivals in their own half of the field, who immediately enjoyed the loss of the ball. Only the British did not manage to overcome the tight defense of Ukrainian women, and in cases when it still happened, Bondarchuk showed excellent vigilance on the line.
In the 84th minute, the national team of Ukraine could close the match with a striking counterattack. Shevchuk on the left flank freed from the opponent and shot in the center, and Alexander in a jump covered the ball after a close shot by Khimich.
