Let us remind you that today in Rīga at the «Riga Arena» Ukrainians conceded to France (2:4, extra time) and ended their Euro-2026 participation. The post-match commentary of our coach is published on the official UEFA website.

«We lost the match and congratulate France on advancing to the semi-finals. It was indeed a good encounter from both sides. In extra time, we lacked strength or goals for a positive result. We also could have scored at the end of the second half but failed to do so, and after being behind 1:2, we tried to put pressure on but conceded again and suffered defeat», said Oleksandr Kosenko.
