On Sunday, March 26, the national football team of Ukraine under the leadership of acting head coach Ruslan Rotany will start the selection cycle of the 2024 European Championship with a match against the Euro 2020 vice-champion England at the famous Wembley Stadium in London (the referee is a 37-year-old Serdar Gezyubyuuk from the Netherlands).
Previously, the teams crossed paths on football fields eight times. The history of the confrontation was opened by two away friendlies for the “yellow and blue”, in 2000 and 2004, in which the English were stronger – 2:0 and 3:0, respectively. In qualifying for the 2010 World Cup, the rivals exchanged home victories — 2:1 in London and 1:0 in Dnipro. Undoubtedly, many fans remember the scandalous match of the final stage of the 2012 European Championship in Donetsk with an unscored goal by Marko Devich, when Oleg Blokhin’s wards suffered a narrow defeat – 0:1. After that, in the selection for the 2014 World Cup, our national team drew twice with the favorite of the group — 1:1 in London and 0:0 in Kyiv. And, finally, in the ¼ finals of Euro-2020, Ukraine was defeated by England in Rome — 4:0.
