The Ukrainian national team in Lyon lost the second consecutive match at the European Championship, losing to the Northern Ireland national team with the 0: 2 score. After Germany and Poland tied 0: 0 in the second match of Group C, the Ukrainian players lost all chances of getting into the 1 / 8 Euro-2016 finals.

After two matches, the national teams of Germany and Poland have 4 points each, Northern Ireland - 3, Ukraine - 0. Even a victory in the final match against the Poles will not help Mikhail Fomenko’s team, since the British beat them in a head-to-head meeting.

The Ukraine-Northern Ireland match took place in pouring rain, which significantly affected the game - the players made a lot of mistakes in their passes and often fell. However, the Ukrainians started the game a little more active than their opponents.

Several good lumbago made the captain of the team Shevchuk, dangerous blows struck Sidorchuk and Rakitsky. However, the British attacks looked more dangerous. So, Katkart could open an account, but struck just above the gate after a corner.

At the beginning of the second half, nothing foreshadowed trouble, as the players of Northern Ireland earned a free kick. The ball was filed in the penalty area, Hacheridi lost the position of Macauley, and he just sent his head into the corner of the goal.

And after that, the Ukrainian team showed some toothlessness in the attack. Ukrainians owned the ball, but they didn’t manage to complete the combinations with an accurate kick.

As a result, the Northern Irishmen scored the second goal, finally crushing the hopes of the Ukrainian national team for salvation. Dallas shot from the center of the penalty, Pyatov hit the ball in front of him, and McGinn calmly sent the ball into the empty net.

On June 21, Ukraine will play against Poland in a “prestige match,” as yellow-blue midfielder Taras Stepanenko put it, and the world champion Germans will face Northern Ireland.
