Victory for Moroz’s team was brought by a double from forward Rukh Mustafayev

The hosts of the tournament (it takes place in Tallinn) conceded two unanswered goals from the Ukrainian youths in the first half – Rukh forward Rolan Mustafaev scored a double.
After the break, Shakhtar defender Yaroslav Milokost made the score big. After some time, the hosts were able to score a prestige goal.
