Thanks to a leader of Valentine Take carestronger than all the corner kicks mayulu, France achieved victory over Ukraine (1-0) and reached the final of the Euro Under 19 Championship, where it will challenge Spain next Sunday for the category title, with the recent precedent of its last draw on July 22 in the group stage of this same tournament.
Compulsion award
The ‘bleu’ team resolved their difficult rivalry in the second half, with a goal on the hour mark from the Stade de Reims midfielder, who already has 22 games with the first team, and captain of the French Under 19 team.
This is the reward for his persistence. No one finished as much as he did in the match, although, until then, Ukraine felt closer to the advantage, especially in the first half, when it had two clear chances.
Shevchenko saw his son
In the beginning, France pushed and Ukraine responded. The French staging is terrifying. Maybe for any rival. Not so much for the Ukrainian team, which watched from the legendary stands Andriy Shchevchenko (His son Kristian came on the field in the 63rd minute)who armed with the rapid passing of minutes and relaunched as soon as he connected several attacks, with more danger than his opponent throughout the first act.
In the then fictitious control of France, between the mobility of Bouabre -more amazing than practical throughout the first half and more-, the two shots of Take care and some bursts of speed in the counterattack, Ukraine felt stronger in attack than him, with a header that he did not hit alone, in an empty goal, Mykhavkho, benefited from the fateful departure of the French goalkeeper, Bengui-Joao, which brought more than uncertainty to his defense throughout the match.
Gusiev, on the crossbar
Because France also struggled when pressured by Ukraine, who shook the ‘bleus’ with a right-footed shot on the crossbar. Gusiev. More than fear. A statement of purpose. On the brink of rest. A serious warning for the French team, lost from the other place, because of the more possession management it retained.
Bouabre He then launched a direct free kick, too centered, which was turned away for a corner Krapyvtsov to reverse the trend from the end of the first half to the beginning of the second. Also tried Take care, before rising higher than anyone else, powerful, insurmountable, to head home the corner kick from Mayulu and score 1-0 at the time of the clash.
Unstoppable in his jump and uncontested with his header, the French captain proclaimed France as finalists next Sunday in the same setting as Thursday, Windsor Park in Belfast, for the continental title against Spain, eight-time champions. France won the trophy category out of three. In the group stage, on July 22, they tied with two goals.
