The wards of Nataliya Ignotovich faced girls from Estonia. The Ukrainians started well and opened the score already in the 11th minute. After Vitalina Boychuk's shot, the ball hit the crossbar, and Hanna Rozdobha was first to react with a rebound goal. On the 24th minute, blue-and-yellow doubled their lead. Yuliia Kutsiuba received the ball from the opponent's penalty area and scored.

In the second half of the game, our girls managed to score a third goal thanks to Vitalina Boychuk's individual effort. She intercepted the ball from an opponent and immediately shot from the penalty line. Thus, 3:0 — victory for the Ukrainian team.

In the next match of the UEFA Women’s Under-15 Development Tournament, Ukraine WU-15 will play against Finland on November 18.
