Match Report
Ukraine made a statement at the Tarczyński Arena in Wrocław, handing Poland a deserved defeat in Sunday's friendly. It was a disciplined, counter-punching display from the visitors, built on clinical finishing and defensive grit.
Viktor Tsygankov sparked the opener, stealing possession and teeing up Roman Yaremchuk, who cut inside and finished coolly in the 34th minute. Ukraine doubled the lead just before halftime when Andriy Yarmolenko tapped in a well-weighted delivery in the 44th minute. Poland had the lion's share of possession — 56% — but rarely threatened the Ukrainian goal. Marcin Bulka kept the scoreline respectable with a smart stop in the 54th minute, denying Ukraine a third.
With both nations having missed out on the 2026 World Cup, this result will sting for Poland and Robert Lewandowski's side. Ukraine, meanwhile, can draw real confidence from this mature, organized performance heading into their summer campaign.
