The Ukrainian youth football team beat Northern Ireland in another qualifying match.
The Ukrainian U-21 youth team has guaranteed itself access to the final round of the 2025 European Championship. This happened after our team won the next qualifying match.
The Blue-Yellows beat Northern Ireland 2:1 away. Even in the first half, Unai Melgosa’s team got a pretty good advantage for themselves.
Two goals flew into the opponent’s goal duet with Dynamo Kyiv – Nazar Voloshin and Maxim Bragaru – scored.
The game went to a confident victory for our team, however, the team was disappointed by its captain Arseniy Batagov. The Trabzonspor footballer did not play well in defense and committed a very rude foul in the penalty area and received a red card. In addition, the hosts converted a penalty.
The last 10 minutes of the match were nervous for the Ukrainians, but they managed to maintain their advantage.
U-21. Euro 2025. Qualification. September 10

Goals: Allen, 81 – Voloshin, 10, Bragaru, 30
Ball possession: 48% – 52
Beats: 12 – 8
Shots on target: 2 – 6
This is the eighth victory of the Ukrainian national team in eight matches, and the team will definitely play in Euro 2025.
Even if the “blue-yellows” lose two matches of the remaining qualification, they will still be one of the three best teams in the second group, and this guarantees direct qualification to the Euros.
Based on the qualification results, 15 teams will advance to the finals of Euro 2025 U-21, which will join the host of the final tournament – Slovakia. Among them: 9 group winners, 3 best teams in the runners-up and 3 winners in the playoffs, where the remaining 6 runners-up will play.
We remind you that the Ukrainian national team suffered its second consecutive defeat in the 2024/25 Nations League, losing a match to the Czech Republic with a score of 2:3.
