The Ukrainian national beach soccer team won the first three points in the selection for the Euroleague 2022 Superfinal, which is taking place in Cagliari, Italy.

After two defeats at the first stage of the Euroleague 2022 in Nazare, Portugal, against Spain (1:4) and Italy (3:5) in order to maintain the possibility of qualifying for the 2023 European Games, the Ukrainian national team really needed to beat Azerbaijan today. 

In the first period, the teams searched for the keys to each other's goal for a long time, but the Ukrainians did it better. In the 11th minute, our goalkeeper Andriy Nerush made a great shot from a long distance, and the ball flew into the net off the post — 1:0.

In the second 12-minute period, the situation developed according to the same scenario. And again, the blue-yellow team had a good shot. In the 14th minute, Ivan Hlutsky scored the standard - 2:0. 

In the final part of the game, the Azerbaijanis predictably went ahead, and moment by moment began to appear near our goal. Fortunately, our goalkeeper Andrii Nerush played excellently, making several saves. However, he could not help during Ramil's standard, which reduced the backlog of the opponents. 

However, Azerbaijan could not achieve more — 2:1 in favor of Mykola Kostenko's wards. This was the first victory of the Ukrainian national team in this year's Euroleague draw.
