As part of the preparation for the III Euro Games, Yuri Klimenko's wards lost to Portugal's national team yesterday in Nazare in a tough match (3:4).
Today the blue and yellow team met their opponent from yesterday again. While last time the Ukrainians played almost the entire game, this time they immediately seized control. On the 4th minute, Yuliya Deytchar put our team ahead.
Although in the second period the Portuguese managed to catch up, Yuliia Kostyuk once again restored the guests' lead. However, in the third quarter, our opponents equalized the score again—2:2.
The match went into a three-minute overtime, during which both teams scored goals, with Yuliya Deytchar scoring a brace for us.
Unfortunately, in the penalty shootout, the Portuguese were more accurate—3:2.
