At the European Football Championship in Germany, the Red Devils will face Ukraine in their third and final group match. They won the decisive jump-off match against Iceland 2-1 on Tuesday evening in Wroclaw, Poland.
Iceland took the lead after half an hour through Albert Gudmundsson, who scored with a nice kick. Roman Yaremchuk (ex-Ghent and Bruges) then saw his equalizer disallowed by the VAR for offside. In the 54th minute, Ukraine tied the score through Viktor Tsygankov. Mykhailo Mudryk, for whom Chelsea paid 70 million to Shakhtar at the beginning of last year, kicked his country to the European Championship in the 84th minute.
