Ukraine entered the match against Slovakia with no way back. While Slovakia celebrated an early 1-0 win over Belgium, Ukraine lost 0-3 to Romania and was pushed into a dead end. If they lose to Slovakia, it is almost certain that Mykhailo Mudryk and his teammates will say goodbye to EURO 2024 early in the group stage.
Yaremchuk scores to seal a 2-1 win for Ukraine
The pressure to win combined with a goal conceded in the 17th minute made things even more difficult for Ukraine. In a lack of concentration in defense, Zinchenko let Ivan Schranz run behind him and head in the opening goal.
Amidst the psychological pressure, Ukraine won thanks to its most important "weapon": spirit. The stormy intensity of the yellow team swallowed up Slovakia's defense. In the 54th minute, Mykola Shaparenko finished off Ukraine's great overlap on the left wing with a decisive second-line shot, tying the score at 1-1. After that, Ukraine continued to dominate, and then sealed the 2-1 victory in the 80th minute thanks to Roman Yaremchuk.
Ukraine’s victory makes Group E more unpredictable. If Belgium defeats Romania, all four teams in the group will have three points. So, everyone will have to wait until the last round to know their fate.
