The Dynamo winger became one of the heroes of the match, equalizing the score in the second half of the first half
Winger Ukrainian youth team Nazar Voloshin commented on the strong-willed victory over Serbia (2:1) in the youth selection Euro 2025.
“We played very well and achieved a positive result. I am very happy that we won and took three points. True, in the first 20 minutes we did not succeed in everything. A draw for the England team will make it easier for us to continue the fight in the group, but we look at our game and move forward with each match. We want to win every time. Indeed, it was a surprise that the English played 0:0.”
“We are preparing for Northern Ireland. I think it will be a quality game with a lot of fighting. But we will be focused on winning.”
Let us recall that Ukraine conceded an early goal in Riga, but made a comeback and won a crucial victory, and it was Voloshin who equalized the score in the 34th minute. He converted a one-on-one situation after a pass from Arseniy Batagov across half the field with a technical first-touch shot. After the break, Unai Melgosa’s charges scored for the second time (Yegor Yarmolyuk converted a penalty for a foul on Ilya Kvasnitsa) and held on to the winning score.
As a result, the Ukrainian U-21 team continues to go through the qualifying round for the 2025 European Youth Championship without a single misstep – Unai Melgosa’s men have won seven of their seven matches. England, which is in second place, stumbled in this round (0:0 against Northern Ireland) and is now two points behind the blue-yellows, having played one match more.
Ukraine U-21 will play their next match on September 10 away against Northern Ireland.
