The national women's national team of Ukraine won the team of Bulgaria and won the international tournament Turkish Women's Cup 2022 during the training camp in Alanya, Turkey.

The match with Bulgaria became the final for the women's national team of Ukraine in the competition, which is an intermediate stage of preparation of the blue and yellows for the April qualifying matches of the 2023 World Cup.

After two victories, the leader of the Ukrainian team Luis Cortes shuffled the lineup and gave the opportunity to players who had less practice during the tournament. Sanina took the place in the goal, Derkach and Voronina appeared in the line of defense, Havanska, Kochneva, Malakhova and Shevchuk also joined the team.

Despite the total game advantage and lively football performed by Cortes' wards, the first half of the match was not full of scoring chances. The Blue and Yellows completely outplayed their opponents and built attacks for all tastes, but they lacked either an accurate last pass or a cold-blooded and accurate final blow.

Kalinina and Kochneva had opportunities in the middle of the half, but the goalkeeper of the Bulgarian national team first reacted to Yana's weak shot in the far corner, and later found herself in the right place and made a save after Irina's attempt.

Closer to the break on the football field, passions began to flare up, and Shevchuk after several strong kicks to the feet was forced to end the game early. Glushchenko replaced her. The debutant of the national team could have lit her name on the scoreboard with the first touch, but her header after Podolska's flank serve was inaccurate.

As in the previous match with the national team of Uzbekistan, our girls adjusted their sight during the break and hit the opponents' goal twice. The difference in the match for the blue-yellows was made by the players who appeared on the field after substitutions. In the 58th minute, the Ukrainians played a corner, and Khrystyuk suddenly jumped from the left inside zone and suddenly surprised the goalkeeper of the Bulgarian national team. Similarly, the national team of Ukraine scored in the opponents' goal at the end of the match, but the goal came from the opposite flank. Kupyak passed from the corner of the field to Khrystyuk, Yulia hung up to the penalty area, and Glushchenko sent the ball into the net with a header.

Under the curtain of the match, the Bulgarian national team had a striking five minutes. During this period, rivals did not realize three dangerous moments at once. At the cost of the injury, Kalinin did not allow Gotseva to score, who scored almost close. And then Sanina set to work: Irina reacted to Petrova's strong blow, and before that the goalkeeper was helped by the goalpost.

Already in the time compensated by the referee Girin could make a defeat, but lost a face-to-face duel with the goalkeeper.

Thus, the women's national team of Ukraine completed the Turkish Women's Cup 2022 with a XNUMX% result and impressive results: three wins in three matches, five goals scored and none conceded.
