For the first time in history, the women’s futsal team of Ukraine made it to the final of the European Championship. Our girls managed to win a strong-willed victory over the hosts of the 2023 tournament, the Hungarians – 2:1.
Wards of coach Oleg Shaitanov seized the initiative from the first minutes of the game. However, in the 12th minute they unexpectedly missed the counterattack of the national team supporting Russia in the war with Ukraine.
However, the “blue-yellow” had some three minutes to restore the status quo. Our Spanish legionnaire Anna Shulga, who competes in Spain, distinguished herself.
After the break, the Ukrainians continued to totally dominate the floor. Ours has repeatedly disturbed not only the rivals’ goalkeeper, but also the frame of her goal. As a result, the fate of a ticket to the decisive match of the tournament was decided on the 32nd minute of the match, when Shulga scored a double.
As a result, the wards of Oleg Shaitanov won with a score of 2:1 and for the first time in history made it to the final of the Euro. The rivals of the Ukrainians will be the team of Spain, who beat Portugal – 3:2. “Gold” of the tournament will be played on Sunday, March 19. The game starts at 21:00 Kyiv time.
