EURO 2024 (U-17): Ukraine concluded final tournament with victory over Cyprus
Unfortunately, after two defeats against Serbia (0:1) and Czechia (1:3), Yuriy Moroz's proteges lost their chances of advancing from the group to the quarterfinals. Therefore, the match against the hosts, who also had no points by that time, was only about prestige.

The game in Larnaca started with the blue-yellow team's possession. Gradually, our team began to threaten the goal, with Bohdanov's attempt being dangerous, and Redushko's header also tested the goalkeeper.
In the 30th minute, Barshak made a great pass from deep, and Bogdanov converted a one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper to open the scoring. Before the break, Dmytro missed several more opportunities, while the Cypriots responded with two decent shots.

At the start of the second half, Denysov earned a penalty, which Bohdanov converted. The blue-yellow team could have increased their lead by testing the goalkeeper through Redushko, Vakulyuk, and Liusin. As a result, our team emerged victorious with a score of 2:0, finishing the tournament in third place in the group.
