In the opening match, the blue and yellow defeated Azerbaijan (4:0), and now met with Greece. The main time of the match passed without goals, and in the penalty shootout, the Hellenes were stronger. The next match of Serhiy Sapronov's wards will be held on April 28 against the hosts of the competition.
