Apre Kane
Southgate leans on the usual number 9 with Sterling and Sancho in support, Sheva with Yarmolenko behind the first striker Yaremchuk. The game begins with the score that everyone expects, England plays the game, Ukraine defends itself. But it doesn’t last long, in fact at 4 ‘the lions are already ahead: Sterling pockets for Kane who coldly signs the advantage. Ukraine reaction in the 17 ‘, Stones loses a bad ball that allows a Yaremchuk to fly away but Pickford is careful. The rhythms are slow, perhaps due to the heat, but when it comes on Sterling something always happens. At 33 ‘hit of the number ten, the defense is saved with difficulty then Rice from outside he releases a torpedo that Bushchan rejects as best he can. In Ukraine Kryvtsov abdicates, in his place Tsygankov, but in general Shevchenko’s team is alive, with Yaremchuk putting in a couple of interesting balls that his own do not collect. At 40 ‘it is instead Sancho not to kick with conviction on Shaw’s percussion, central ball from a good position. At the interval, the English are ahead, but the game is still open. It will not be so.
Second half from (three) lions
As in the first half, the Ukrainians are fatal in the first minutes of play even in the second half. Shaw draws a good parable on a free kick from the left trocar, in the center of the box he collects with his head Maguire for the double benefit. The game ends two minutes later, that is in the 49th minute, when Shaw always finds the perfect trajectory for the head of Kane: 3-0. The English striker is not happy with the brace and at 62 ‘tries the eurogol on the left-footed flight, Bushchan he says no. But the Ukrainians on high balls are inattentive, on the next corner the new entry comes out Henderson for poker. Match without history, in fact Southgate chooses the whirlwind of changes to give breath to some holders in view of the semi-final against the difficult Denmark. There is not much to report, the last half hour is basketball garbage time, with the British already thinking about the semifinal, the Ukrainians flying back home.
