Ruslan Rotan’s wards showed character in the game along with the French, but it wasn’t enough to win.
Ukraine’s youth team lost the chance to win a direct ticket to the European Championship. In the nominally home qualifying match against France, where Rotan’s wards were forced to play in Istanbul, the Ukrainians had to win.
However, the start of the “blue-yellow” battle failed. In the third minute, they conceded a goal in their own net, and by the middle of the first half, the scoreboard was 3: 1 in favor of France. Having shown character, the Ukrainians recovered, but not to win. 3: 3 and the Rotan team will take second place in the group. Now, to get to the Euros ”the blue-yellows have to get past the playoff sieve.
