Youth Euro: Ukrainian footballers commented on their first victory in the tournament.

In their second match at Euro 2025 (U-21), the Ukrainian youth national team defeated Finland 2:0. Kostiantyn Vivcharenko, Yehor Yarmolyuk, and Maksym Braharu shared their impressions of the game.

Kostiantyn Vivcharenko: 'The impressions from the match are simply wonderful. The main thing is that we won. So far, the coach hasn't told us anything, but he will probably say something today when there is a team gathering. The feeling that we are back in the game, that we are aiming to advance from the group, greatly affects our emotional state and the atmosphere. We believe in our abilities that we can do it. Of course, ahead lies the crucial last match in the group. We watched the match between Denmark and the Netherlands, but its result is not too important since everything will depend on us.'

Yehor Yarmolyuk: 'We are in a good mood, this victory is very important for us, so we move on. For me, the most important thing is that we won and earned three points, but to advance to the playoffs, we need to play well in the last match. We watched both matches of the Netherlands team in this tournament and know how strong an opponent they are. But we will try to show our best game.'

Maksym Braharu: 'The mood is positive. Everyone is satisfied because we won, and that is the most important thing for us. The first half from our side was very good, but in the second half after scoring the goal, we seemed to have dropped a bit. Maybe the result isn't reflected in the score, but we still won. I go out on the field and do my job. Somewhere God helps me score. This is my goal and dream - to score for the youth team. I want to go out in every match and show my level.'
