The Ukrainian futsal team lost to the Russian team and did not make it to the finals of the European Championship. Our team lost with a score of 3:2 and will fight for 3rd place.
During the match, the fans chanted "Putin is a bitch", "Who doesn't jump is a Muscovite", "Crimea is Ukraine".
According to experts, the Ukrainian national team had a chance to reach the finals, but the penalties were not implemented.
"Well, now we are waiting for Sunday, when the Ukrainians will play in the match for the bronze medal of the European Championship (15:30 p.m.). Who will be the opponent of Aleksandr Kosenko's wards - we will find out after Portugal play Spain," sports journalist Leonid Frantsekevich wrote.
Since 2014, UEFA has separated the Ukrainians and Russians so that they could meet only in the late stages of the playoffs. Therefore, today's event is historical in its own way.
Note that the Ukrainian team reached the semifinals for the first time in 17 years.
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, took to Twitter to thank the Ukrainian athletes for the game.
