Euro 2026 (U-19). Comments from the Ukrainian youth national team after defeating Croatia

Dmytro Bohdanov: "Emotions, of course, are off the charts because we defeated such a strong opponent as Croatia. 3:1 is a very respectable score."

Yes, when we conceded first, it was tough, but we regrouped and came back. This goal, which is the result of hard work, gave us strength and helped us win the match."

Nazar Domchak: "Yes, we expected to win, but personally I expected a draw. But it didn't happen. It's football. The hardest save in the game? I can't say that any were particularly difficult. That's my job."

I'm very happy that everything turned out as it did. We were confident, but there was a break, the first match at Euro... I think after this victory our confidence will grow. After wins, everyone works better. At training, everyone is smiling."

We want to dedicate this success to our soldiers and all of Ukraine."
