Slovakia v Ukraine – Live Euro 2024 updates from Dusseldorf as Shaparenko nets second-half equaliser
SUPER SECOND HALF RESCUES WIN FOR UKRAINE
Ukraine produced a thrilling second-half comeback to beat Slovakia in Dusseldorf and keep their Euro 2024 campaign alive as Roman Yaremchuk came off the bench to score a late winner.
Slovakia, who stunned Belgium in their opening game, continued their fine start to the tournament with an impressive first half showing as Ivan Schranz scored his second goal in two games to give them a deserved lead.
But Ukraine showed signs of life before the break when Oleksandr Tymchyk rattled the post, and Mykola Shaparenko found the equaliser early in the second half as the momentum shifted.
The decisive moment arrived with 10 minutes to go when Yaremchuk’s delightful cushioned touch and finish completed the comeback to send the yellow-clad supporters wild.
It leaves a wide-open Group E finely poised, with Ukraine, Slovakia and Romania all on three points and Belgium still on zero ahead of Saturday’s clash between Belgians and Romanians.
