We now know all the posters of the quarter-finals of Euro 2021 football: Spain-Switzerland (July 2 at 4 p.m. UT), Belgium-Italy (July 2 at 7 p.m. UT), Czech Republic-Denmark (July 3 at 4 p.m. UT) ) and finally Ukraine-England (July 3 at 7 p.m. UT).
The Ukrainians have indeed obtained the right to face the English in the next round, after having dismissed the Swedes 2-1 after extra time, on June 29 in Glasgow.
A long undecided round of 16, during which each team had its moments of domination.
The crazy evening of Emil Forsberg
The Scandinavians can thus regret the bad luck of Emil Forsberg.
The midfielder has certainly equalized on a deflected shot (43rd).
But he also shot once on the opposing left upright (56th), then again on the Ukrainian cross (69th).
Just before, Serhiy Sidorchuk also shot the post and therefore almost gave Ukraine the advantage (55th).
This would have made 2-1 for the selection coached by ex-superstar Andriy Chevtchenko, after the opener signed Oleksandr Zinchenko (27th).
But the Zbirna had to wait until the very end of the stoppage time to regain the advantage and thus avoid a risky shooting session.
In the 120th + 1, Artem Dvbyk indeed throws himself on a cross from the left.
He eliminates a Sweden reduced to ten against eleven following the expulsion of Marcus Danielson (99th).
A Danielson author of a brutal tackle on Artem Besedin.
