Ukraine eases past lacklustre Moldova
Ukraine completed its Euro 2024 preparations with a commanding 4-0 victory over Moldova in Chisinau.
Roman Yaremchuk and Artem Dovbyk were on target for Serhiy Rebrov's side, which begins its Group E campaign against Romania next week.
Real Madrid goalkeeper Andrii Lunin returned between the sticks for Ukraine, which was seeking a response to the 2-1 loss against Poland on Saturday.
Just two minutes were on the clock when Yaremchuk broke the deadlock on his 50th cap and, though Vitalii Mykolenko limped off in the 30th minute, Viktor Tsyhankov doubled the lead before half-time.
Girona striker Dovbyk – LaLiga's top scorer for 2023-24 with 24 goals – got in on the act four minutes after the restart, before Heorhii Sudakov's strike in the 54th minute completed a comfortable win.
Ukraine will head to Euro 2024 in a confident mood, having lost just two of its 13 matches since Rebrov took charge last June.
Yaremchuk got the ball rolling with his 15th international goal, moving him level with his head coach and joint-fourth on the Blue and Yellow's all-time list behind Andriy Shevchenko (48), Andriy Yarmolenko (46) and Yevhen Konoplyanka (21).
