Michael 1,116 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Great effort by Tsygankov as he forces a save at the near post from Armenian keeper Yurchenko. Ihnatenko floated a pass inton the penalty area and Tsygankov controlled the ball well on the run, before pulling off a shot at the near post and forcing the save from Yurchenko.

Michael 1,116 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Tymchyk scores for Ukraine and gives them the lead! It was a great team goal. Mykolenko passed to Tsygankov just in the penalty area, Tsygankov turned and found Zubkov who was running down the left side of the penalty area and Zubkov crossed the ball which was me by Tymchyk who came running in at the far post to connect and score. Ukraine take an early lead here in Yerevan, Armania. Armenia 0-1 Ukraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael 1,116 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Tsygankov is looking the most creative player on the pitch right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael 1,116 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Well Ukraine really need to look for that 2nd goal in this 2nd half. As well as Tymchyk's goal and Tsygankov forcing a very good save from Yurchenko in the 1st half, Tsygankov and Ihnatenko both had efforts from outside of the area that went wide of the post. But it is important for Ukraine to get that 2nd goal, so that they can feel more comfortable and also to improve their goal difference, which may come to be important at the end of the group standings.

Michael 1,116 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Zubkov scores to make it 2 nil!! Tymchyk ran with the ball down the right wing, he crossed the ball into the penalty area where Zubkov struck the ball first time on his right foot high into the the net. It was a very well taken goal from Zubkov and Tymchyk returns the favour to Zubkov, after Zubkov crossed to Tymchyk for him to score the 1st goal in the first half.

Yarmolenko pinged the ball into the area and found Zubkov, who lob/crossed the ball over the advancing keeper Yurchenko and he found Dovbyk who headed the ball into the net practically on the goal line.

Michael 1,116 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Ukraine score a 4th goal through Bordeaux midfielder Ihnatenko!! Dovbyk crossed the ball on the deck to Ihnatenko, who was well outside the area and Ihnatenko unleashed a rocket of a shot into the bottom hand corner of the net. Yurchenko the Armenian keeper had no chance in stopping that. Armenia 0-4 Ukraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael 1,116 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Dovbyk scores his 2nd goal of the match and Ukraine's 5th goal! The ball found it's way to Dovbyk in the congested penalty area, he trapped the ball with his back to goal and then dragged the ball forward on the turn and knocked the ball past the Armenian keeper Yurchenko to score Ukraine's 5th goal!

Michael 1,116 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Well, it finishes Armenia 0-5 Ukraine. With this win, Ukraine go top of the group temporarily, awaiting the result of the Scotland v Ireland match this evening. Ukraine's goal difference is now superior to Scotland's goal difference, after Ukraine's thumping win against Armenia today. Ukraine totally dominated Armenia, especially in that 2nd half. Zubkov, Tymchyk, Ihnatenko and Dovbyk all impressed. While Mykolenko and Zabarnyi also played very well after their return from their respective injuries. Ukraine will now head to Krakow, Poland in preparation for their final and decisive match against Scotland, in confident mood. As this was a much improved performance by Ukraine today compared to their last match against Scotland, albeit against weaker opposition in Armenia. Armenia though are usually a tough team to play in Yerevan, as they proved when shocking the Irish with a 1-0 win in the Nations League a couple of months back. But Ukraine need to maintain this high level of performance if they want to beat the Scottish national team in Krakow, Poland. Ukraine will also be closely watching Scotland's match against Ireland at Hampden Park. It is really important that Scotland win today. If Scotland draw or lose against Ireland, that will mean that they will have to beat Ukraine in Poland if they want to win this group. Whereas a win for Scotland this evening against Ireland, will mean that Ukraine will have to beat Scotland in their final match in Krakow if they want to win this group. It's all to play for still for Scotland and Ukraine in this group. For Ireland, it's a matter of pride and possibly finishing in 2nd place with positive results in their last two group matches against Scotland and Armenia respectively.

Michael 1,116 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 The lineups for the Scotland v Ireland match have been announced and they are as follows: SCOTLAND Gordon Hickey - Hendry - McKenna - Tierney McTominay - McGregor Armstrong - McGinn - Christie Dykes REPUBLIC OF IRELAND Bazunu Doherty - Collins - Egan - O'Shea - McClean Cullen - Molumby - Knight Parrott - Obafemi Scotland make just two changes from the team that started against Ukraine, with Hickey starting at right-back in place of the injured Patterson. While Dykes has been selected as the centre forward this time around, in place of Che Adams. Scotland will look to win this match so that they can go top of the group, which will put them in a great position for their final and decisive match of the group against Ukraine. The best Ireland can do in this group now is finish 2nd and a win here against Scotland will go a long way to achieving that goal, as their final group match at home against Armenia, is surely one that they will win. It's a full house at Hampden Park and surely this match should be another cracker between these two neighbour countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
