Today, October 1, a match took place in Chisinau between the youth futsal team of Ukraine and the team of Italy in the final tournament of Euro-2025 (U-19). This is reported on the 'Hlavkom' website, citing UAF.


Results of Previous Matches


In the previous matches, the Ukrainian team defeated Moldova with a score of 7:0, but lost to Portugal with a score of 0:4. After the match with the Portuguese, coach Igor Moskvychov summarized the results.


'I congratulate the Portuguese team, but I also want to congratulate my team on a good game. We should have scored at least 2-3 goals. In the first half, we did not convert any good chance, and then they made a quick counterattack and scored a goal just seconds before the end. This influenced the course of the match, but today the game pleased me more than in the match against Moldova,' emphasized Moskvychov.

Currently, the Ukraine U-19 team has the same number of points as the Italian team, so the result of the match will determine the second semifinalist of the tournament from group A. The match can be watched on Megogo with 'Maximum' and 'Sport' subscriptions. The meeting starts at 20:30.
