A PHOTO. A fiasco in Poland. Ukraine women’s national team lost to Scotland

In the home elimination match World Cup 2023Played in Polish Rzeszow, Ukraine women’s team lost to Scotland (0:4). Due to Russian aggression and martial law in Ukraine, the national team is forced to host their opponents at the Stal stadium in Rzeszow, Poland.

The game against Scotland started with an exchange of chances in the 3rd minute – Samson parried Thomas’s near close range shot and Kozlova closed the far post with a higher counterattack. In the 9th minute, the British opened the goal after the referee’s questionable penalty for Korsun’s foul.

The Ukrainians responded with a good shot from Petryk on target, but soon conceded two more times. First, Cuthbert completed the combination, crossing the middle of the penalty area, then Thomas hit after a suitable corner. In the 43rd minute, Thomas scored a double goal after the corner.

The second half passed without a goal. At the end of the call, Glushchenko and Petryk shot well from afar, but the Ukrainian team could not even clear the score.

Losing to the Scots, the Ukrainians lost their chance to qualify for the playoffs of the 2023 World Cup selection. Girls can score a maximum of 13 points, as with Scots, but are inferior to them in in-person meetings, so they can’t get around by regulations. The next match, the guards of Luis Cortes, will play against Hungary on 28 June at 21:00 in the same stadium.
