The blue-yellow team took the lead already in the 2nd minute — Abakshin completed a successful draw. In the future, our guys continued to create moments, but the French keeper was at the top. The real intensity near our goal appeared as early as the 10th minute. Then the teams exchanged moments. In the 15th minute, Melnyk completed the counterattack and doubled the advantage of the Ukrainian national team, but shortly before the break, the score was dampened by Bendali.

Later, the Swede dispersed the counterattack and gave a shot to Korsun, who increased the advantage of our team. France immediately switched to the game with the fifth field and very quickly won two goals.
