We remind you that in the group stage, Igor Mosyichov's wards first defeated Moldova (7:0), in the second round they lost to Portugal (0:4), and in the third round they overcame Italy (2:0). As a result, our team secured the second place in Group A and advanced to the semifinals, where their opponent was the Spanish team.

In the first half, the blue-and-yellow quickly found themselves in the position of the team that needs to catch up. Pedro Altaba opened the scoring as early as the 3rd minute. However, Igor Mosyichov's wards seized control and by the 14th minute not only equalized but also took the lead. Bogdan Tsap and Artem Klimchuk scored for Ukraine. Nevertheless, the Spaniards quickly recovered and within two minutes regained the lead thanks to goals from Roger Garcia and Miguel Laos — 3:2.

After halftime, our opponents increased their activity even further, which resulted in two more goals by Pablo Gutierrez and Nacho Olivares. On the 32nd minute, Oleksandr Shpak gave hope to Ukrainian fans, but just two minutes later Unai Isquierdo restored a three-goal lead — 6:3. When on the 36th minute Oleksandr Shpak scored an own goal, everything became clear. The match was sealed by Pedro Altaba, who returned the favor to Oleksandr Shpak and scored an own goal.

Thus, a defeat of 4:7, and Ukraine's national team concluded their participation in Euro-2025 (U-19), finishing as semifinalists for the third consecutive tournament.
