The youth team managed to triumph over Northern Ireland
National team midfielder Ukraine U-21 Maxim Bragaru stressed that his goal in the 2-1 victory over Northern Ireland in the 2025 European Championship qualifiers was the work of the entire team.
“A very tough match. We had some good moments, but somewhere in the second half we lost momentum and the opponent started putting pressure on our goal. That is, we lost control of the ball. Well, such matches happen, but the most important thing is that we won.”
“My goal? I scored it thanks to the whole team – a good combination. We are all, of course, happy, because we won the eighth time in a row. Let’s move on.”
Ukraine U-21 won all eight matches in the UEFA Euro 2025 qualifiers and secured a place in the continental championship ahead of schedule. Even if Melgosa’s team lets England, which is five points behind, get into the top three second-placed teams and a direct ticket to the European Championship.
In the next match, the Ukrainian youth team will play against their peers from England on October 11. Four days later, the blue-yellows will meet Serbia.
