Comments:
Ukraine had lost their last six games at UEFA European Championship finals; the joint-longest such run in the competition along with Yugoslavia. Ukraine scored in the first-half of a game at the UEFA European Championship finals for the first time (played eight). Ukraine were awarded a penalty after 83 minutes for handball following a VAR review. Ruslan Malinovskyi's spot-kick was saved. Only one of the five penalties awarded so far at Euro 2020 had now been converted.
