The goalkeeper defended the blue-yellow goal in the match against Ireland
Goalkeeper Ukrainian national team Dmitry Riznyk commented on the result of the match against Ireland in the League of Nations (1:1). It was the first official game of the goalkeeper Vorskla in the national team.
“To play for the national team in an official meeting is a dream for every footballer. I’m very happy. I think that the score is logical, because the opponent, like us, had chances. The game went in waves, back and forth.
The return of Yarmolenko? In every team, the authority of the captain is important. This is the mood for the game, and everything else. Andrey is a leader on the field, he proved it, he helped the goal scored.
Have we calmed down after a goal scored? I don’t think so, we played to win. There were chances, but they didn’t score. This is football. We will play, try to keep the first place. We will fight for him,” Riznyk said.
In total, Riznyk has two matches in the Ukrainian national team. In November last year, the goalkeeper made his debut for the blue-and-yellows in a friendly match against Bulgaria.
Ukraine is leading in group 1 after three matches played. The Blues and Yellows are one point ahead of Scotland. Ireland is in third position.
On September 21, Ukraine will play away with Scotland in the postponed match of the second round of the League of Nations.
