Ukraine advances to EURO 2020 quarterfinals

Artem Dovbyk netted in stoppage time at the end of extra time as Ukraine squeezed past 10-man Sweden 2-1 at Hampden Park on Tuesday to claim the last available berth in the European Championship quarterfinals, AzVision.az reports citing Daily Sabah.

The two sides were level at 1-1 after 90 minutes but the tide of the last-16 game changed when Sweden had defender Marcus Danielson sent off for a studs-up, high challenge nine minutes into extra time.

Oleksandr Zinchenko’s left-footed half-volley after 27 minutes gave Ukraine the lead but Emil Forsberg equalized when he hit home a deflected effort from the edge of the penalty area two minutes before halftime.

Ukraine will now take on England in Saturday’s quarterfinal in Rome.
