EURO 2024: Slovakia 1-2 Ukraine – Yaremchuk secures vital win

Slovakia and Ukraine meet in a key match of EURO 2024 Group E in Düsseldorf.

It kicks off at 15:00 CET (13:00 GMT) at the Merkur Spiel Arena today, Friday, June 21, 2024.

Francesco Calzona’s Slovakia surprisingly beat Belgium on their debut, but Ukraine’s 3-0 loss to Romania was probably as unexpected as the Slovakians’ victory.

Napoli‘s Stan Lobotka was the MOTM against Belgium in the previous round and starts against the Ukrainians today as well, alongside ex-Inter defender Milan Skriniar.

Slovakia: Dubravka; Pekarik, Vavro, Skriniar, Hancko; Lobotka, Kukca, Duda; Schranz, Bozenik, Haraslin.

Ukraine: Trubin, Tymchyk, Zabarnyi, Matviyenko, Zinchenko; Shaparenko, Brazhko; Yarmolenko, Sudakov, Mudryk; Dovbyk.
