Today, October 27, the Ukraine U-17 national team (players born in or after 2006) continued their qualification for Euro 2023 with a match against Liechtenstein.
In the first group stage game of Group 2, Yuri Moroz's wards defeated Azerbaijan (5:2), and then faced their counterparts from Liechtenstein. The match took place at the training center of the Bosnian Football Federation in Zenica.
Even before halftime, Ukraine scored four times, with three goals coming from Ponomarenko, who had previously netted a hat-trick against Azerbaijan. After the break, our boys added another three goals, resulting in a final score of 7-0.
Two victories guaranteed that blue and yellow would secure one of the top two spots in their group and thus qualify for the elite round of Euro 2023 (U-17). The next match will be against Bosnia and Herzegovina on October 30.
