In the previous match of Group V3, the blue-and-yellow team secured their first victory in the tournament by defeating Greece (1:0). Today, at the Stalowa Wola stadium called "Stal," Vladimir Pyatenko's players hosted Poland.

The start of the game did not go well for our girls. As early as the 10th minute, Adrian Achcinska scored in Kelyushyk’s net. It turned out that this goal decided the fate of the match.

Afterwards on the field was an even battle where defense clearly prevailed over attack. Throughout the entire game time, both teams managed to take only three shots at each other's goalposts, with two finding their mark in each case.

Thus, it is not surprising that the score did not change until the final whistle — 1:0 in favor of Poland. After this loss, Ukrainians lost any chance to compete for a place in League A.  

The Ukrainian women's team will play their next match against Serbia on December 5.
