Ukrainian national team defender Valeriy Bondar shared his thoughts on the defeat

«Unusual defensive line? I don’t want to make excuses. The team lost 1-3, we played poorly on set pieces. Plus, I probably disoriented Jora Bushchan in one episode. Either I shouldn’t have gone for the ball at all, or we should have played it differently.»

«We responded with a goal, but the Poles managed to maintain their advantage. However, the main problems were due to mistakes on set pieces. And that’s what it all came down to. We definitely didn’t deserve to win, but I think we will draw the right conclusions,» Bondar said.
