Back then the Yellow-Blues lost 0:1 in the semifinal. Still it should be mentioned that home side players were two years younger than visitors.
This time these two sides faced each other in the decisive game. In the semifinal Israel defeated Bulgaria while Ukraine won against Cyprus.
37 minutes into the game Kozak got a red card after which Ukraine played outnumbered, but still managed to win. Mudryk scored the only goal 69 minutes into the match – 1:0.
Ruslan Rotan’s men have won this contest for the first time in ten years.
Three FC Dynamo Kyiv players featured for Ukraine: Bohdan Biloshevskyi, Akhmed Alibekov and Yevhen Smyrnyi.
