Ukraine secured their first victory in the Euro Cup by overturning a 1-2 deficit against Slovakia in their second group stage match.

Slovakia took the lead in the first half through Schranz, capitalizing on a series of Ukrainian defensive errors. Despite this setback, Ukraine refused to surrender, continuing to press forward and creating chances in Slovakia's penalty area, notably through Dovbyk, who came close to scoring.

They eventually found the equalizer in the second half, with Shaparenko scoring after a deadly counterattack, assisted by Zinchenko. Then, Yaremchuk delivered the winning blow in the 80th minute with a superb goal, showcasing excellent control and finishing.

With this result, Ukraine temporarily sits second in Group E with three points, level with Slovakia (first) and Romania (third). The group's standings hinge on the outcome of the match between Belgium and Romania, with Belgium yet to earn a point and facing a precarious position.
