The opponent of the blue-and-yellow team was the host nation's squad, which our girls' national team coach Sergei Sapronov called the favorite to win Group 4.

Almost the entire match saw Germany in clear possession with a significant advantage. Scoring two goals in the first half and three more in the second, they comfortably secured victory.

The next qualifier for the 2024 European Championship will see Ukraine play against Romania on October 17 (kick-off at 17:00 Kyiv time).
