Ukraine ended the streak of unbeaten Sweden 2-1 on Tuesday with a goal in stoppage time at the end of extra to advance into the quarter-finals of the Euro 2020.
Substitute Artem Dovbyk stooped low to guide a header from Oleksandr Zinchenko’s cross past goalkeeper Robin Olsen. It was the 24-year-old forward's first goal for the national team.
Ukraine's greatest ever forward who is now the current coach -- Andriy Shevchenko, ran down the sideline to celebrate with his players, who will now head to Rome to face England on Saturday.
Zinchenko also scored on a day when his Manchester City teammate Raheem Sterling got one in England's 2-0 win over Germany.
Zinchenko gave Ukraine the lead in the 27th minute when he rifled in a low shot set up by a crafty pass from captain Andriy Yarmolenko.
Emil Forsberg’s deflected shot from outside the area in the 43rd minute equalized for Sweden. It was his fourth goal at Euro 2020.
“It’s a very bitter defeat.
“In the second half we had four really great chances.
“It felt like we would score eventually." Sweden coach Janne Andersson said.
Andersson cited the momentum shift in extra time when Sweden defender Marcus Danielson was sent off in the 98th minute for following through on a challenge with a raised boot on substitute Artem Besedin.
The game lost all rhythm and flow in scrappy extra time periods littered with fouls, injuries and an argument between the two coaches.
“It was a really hard game,"
"Everyone understood that the prize at the end was great.
“We needed to be strong and the players showed it today,” Shevchenko revealed.
Andersson said he confronted Shevchenko because he felt like they were diving a bit toward the end.
Just to get to Glasgow, the Ukrainians had needed a favour from Sweden to advance because they lost two group games and had a negative goal difference.
After losing to Austria last week, Ukraine would have been out if Poland had beaten Sweden two days later. Sweden won that game 3-2 with Forsberg scoring twice.
Ukraine would now face England in the quarter-finals on Saturday – July 3rd at Rome and the winner faces Denmark or the Czech Republic in the semi-finals.
