Ukraine is one step away from qualifying for the quarterfinals of the Under-21 Euro Cup after beating co-hosts Romania (0-1) today, in a match played in Bucharest, adding six points after the first two days of group B.
Ukraine, who made their debut on Wednesday by beating Ukraine (2-0), will qualify tonight as long as Spain, who have three points after beating Romania on the first day (0-1), remain unbeaten in Croatia (0). For its part, Romania (0) will have to wait for Croatia to beat Spain to avoid elimination.
Ukraine dominated Romania at the Steaua Stadium in Bucharest but did not score until the 89th minute. It was a cruel move for the co-host team as center-back Victor Dican deflected a shot from Maksym Braharu in his own goal.
A goal agreed by the logical disappointment of Romania, seeing how his team is on the brink of elimination, but the rewards Ukraine, who dominated most of the game and had several chances. Mykhailo Mudryk (Chelsea), great star of the team, did not play because selector Ruslan Rotan gave him a break.
