Ukraine 0-2 Northern Ireland: Northern Ireland's historic victory
(Baonghean.vn) - The match between Ukraine and Northern Ireland in Group C took place at Parc Olympique Lyonnais, Lyon. Having lost in the opening matches of EURO 2016, both teams are determined to win this match. Otherwise, the risk of them having to pack their bags and go home after the group stage is very high.
After a 0-0 first half in a tight match between Ukraine and Northern Ireland, the second half saw a significant change in the playing style of both teams. Right at the beginning of the second half, in the 48th minute, after a cross from a free kick from the left wing, McAuley headed the ball into the Ukrainian net from close range.
Ukraine continued to attack in search of a goal, but their attacks did not pose a threat to the Northern Ireland defense. In the injury time, they conceded a second goal when McGinn scored from the near post.
