After yesterday's disappointing loss to the third-ranked BSWW team, England (3:4), Yuri Klimenko's squad in Nazaré, Portugal, faced an even tougher opponent—the world’s number one team, Spain.
The Ukrainian women put up a valiant fight against the favorite but were unable to score their first points in this tournament. Having conceded one goal in each period, our girls managed to respond with only one successful shot—by Yuliia Kostyuk.
In summary, 1:3—a loss for Ukraine.
