After the final match of the Euro-2024 selection play-off between Ukraine and Iceland (2:1) the head coach of our opponent, Oge Hareide, shared his thoughts about the game with the media.

"We felt good after the first half, but after halftime things didn't go as we planned. Yes, we had opportunities for counterattacks, but due to poor positioning, we instead received counterattacks on our own goal.

It seemed to me that in the final part of the match the team got tired, but still had chances to equalize the score. We pressed, but it was not destined.

Perhaps everything was decided by the greater depth of the opponent's squad. But this is normal when it comes to such a large nation as the Ukrainians," Hareide said.
