Today, October 30, the Ukrainian U-17 national team (players born in 2006 or later) concluded their participation in the qualification round for Euro-2023 with a match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Victories over Azerbaijan (5:2) and Liechtenstein (7:0) secured qualification for Yurii Moroz's wards to the elite round. Thus, in the final group 2 match, the Ukrainians competed with the Bosnians for first place. The game took place on the home pitch of the mini-tournament — at the training center of the Bosnian Football Federation in Zenica.
The match ended in a draw — 1:1. On the 66th minute, Pashko scored from a long-range pass by Kalin, and near the end of the game, Brekalo equalized with a shot into the top corner.
The tie allowed the blue-and-yellow team to secure first place in the group. Now our young players are waiting for the draw for the elite round, which will take place on December 8.
