Ukraine vs Moldova: a brief overview
The match took place at the Zimbru stadium. The starting whistle sounded at 19:00 Kyiv time.
From the first minutes, the Ukrainian team showed dominant football, scoring at the start of the game. Forward Roman Yaremchuk scored a goal. By the end of the first half the Ukrainian team led by two goals. The second goal was scored by Viktor Tsygankov after a beautiful combination with Georgiy Sudakov.
Sudakov himself scored in the second half. Also in the second half Artem Dovbik distinguished himself.

Mikolenko was injured and risks missing the Euros
Ukraine's left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko was injured in the first half. During a tackle, an opponent hit Vitaliy's right ankle, who was just starting to recover from such an injury.
According to media reports, Mikolenko was taken to hospital for examination immediately after the forced substitution. So far there is no information on whether he will miss the Euros. However, Ukraine coach Serhiy Rebrov expressed hope that the defender will go to the tournament with the team.
