Women's League of Nations-2023/2024. The Ukrainian national team lost to the Polish team in Gdynia

Today, with a match against Poland, the women's national team of Ukraine continued its struggle in the group round of the first ever Nations League draw.
On September 22, our team started the tournament with a match against Serbia, but, unfortunately, being in the lead, lost — 1:2. Now Volodymyr Pyatenko's wards were expecting an away match in Gdynia against Poland, which defeated Greece 3:1 in the last round.

The first half began in an equal struggle, but over time the home team took the initiative. In the 12th minute, Padilla sent the ball into the net, but the referees ruled her offside. Later, the teams exchanged blows with Semky and Kamchyk in the plane.
In the 20th minute, Payor, after a cross from Padilla, scored next to the post. However, soon the captain of the Polish national team opened the score, closing Grabowska's pass from the left wing. Later, Samson saved our team after Padilla's shot from a few meters.

In the second half, the Poles continued to have a significant advantage. First, Padilla hit the target from a distance, later the Ukrainians blocked several shots of their rivals, then Samson made two great saves after dangerous shots by Payor. However, in the 67th minute, the latter made a double, closing Matysik's pass from the right wing.
The Ukrainian women managed to win back one goal at the end of the match — Shmatko blocked Petryk's pass from a free kick. However, the blue-yellow team did not manage to draw at least, even though the rivals played in the minority. 2:1 in favor of Poland.
