Dmitry Mikhailenko’s team has matches ahead of them against peers from Slovenia and the Netherlands
Ukraine U-19 national team played the opening qualifying match for Euro 2025having been defeated by Kazakhstan (1:2).
Dmitry Mikhailenko’s team conceded twice by the 35th minute of the match – Kazakh team forward Tamerlan Agimanov scored twice.
Ukraine pulled one goal back in the 62nd minute – the penalty was converted by team captain Matvey Ponomarenko. All subsequent attempts by the blue-yellows to save at least a draw were unsuccessful.
It should be noted that 17-year-old Manchester United midfielder Zachary Baumann made his debut for the Ukrainian national team, who received a Ukrainian passport in November of this year.
The Ukrainian U-19 national team plays in Group 1 of the Euro 2025 selection. On November 16th, Mikhailenko’s team will face Slovenia, and on the 19th – the Netherlands.
To qualify for the elite round of selection, the blue-yellows must take one of the first two places in their quartet. The chance to advance from third place is minimal – it will go to only one best team out of 13 groups.
