Eleven Men To Ten And Dovbyk Scores At The 120TH Minute!
Highlights Sweden v Ukraine
Saga of Ukraine marking down history today. Long fought 2nd goal for Ukraine entered at 121 of extra time after Sweden got a red card as well. Sweden did try harder strong arm their stronghold more than Germany indeed.
Ukraine current head coach, Andriy Shevhenko had brought something to the table this year. His past was being a outstanding striker for Dynama Kyjv, Milan, Chelsea and the his own Ukraine national team as well. He was 6th top goal scorer with 176 goals for Milan, what a player and a coach for Milan. The Story of Great Ukraine will begin today.
Line-ups are announced last game for final 16 between Sweeden and Ukraine. Interesting with Ukraine line up with 3-5-2. First score started in just 27th min of the game. Andriy played so well assisting their partners, he passes to Alexander Isak and he scored at just 27-minute mark. Despite Ukraine has most of the ball possession, Andriy assisting allot better than trying to score a goal at 32th minute and 67th minute. i must say Oleksandr Zinchenko played so well tonight. For the 2nd goal, he assisted with a wonderful croos for Artem Dovbyk heading to enter. What a nice gameplay to secure the win for Ukraine.
On the Sweden side, Emil Forsberg has6 attempts of scoring and 1 goal out of it, could be a reason fall for Sweden. Emil Forsberg would become a very strong support forward in the future, but Sweden badly need him to do something right now.
At 99th mark, game became so intense and as Marcus Danielson trying to get the high ball, he raises his leg up high and somehow accidentally injured Viktor Tsygankov, the referee changed his decision from yellow to red after VAR consideration. Almost 30min of extra time, Sweden fought really hard at defending and attacking, still not enough.
Time has come to the 120th +1 minute and Sweden seems to defend very well, Ukraine kept trying but still cant manage to breakthrough! But wait! Its Zinchenko with the ball and he swings into the penalty box and Dovbyk, manage to get ahead of his marker and powers a header to the back of the net! SCORE! Dovbyk made it! Its Ukraine 2 - 1 Sweden now!
Surely its heart broken for Sweden, playing with ten men to eleven and tried so hard but lost.
The final whistle blows and its the end of the game.
Final Score : Ukraine 2 - 1 Sweden
Good game Ukraine, WORTHLY, top 8.
