Ukraine Comeback Stuns Slovakia in Euro 2024

Shaparenko and Yaremchuk Secure Crucial Victory

Ukraine's hopes of advancing in Euro 2024 were reignited on Saturday as they produced a stunning second-half comeback to defeat Slovakia 2-1 in Group E.

Ivan Schranz had given Slovakia an early advantage, but Mykola Shaparenko equalized for Ukraine just before the hour mark. In a dramatic finish, Roman Yaremchuk netted a late winner to seal the victory and give Ukraine their first three points of the tournament.

Ukraine's victory was a testament to their resilience and determination, as they refused to let their early setback derail their ambitions. Shaparenko's equalizer was a moment of brilliance, while Yaremchuk's winning goal was a reward for his persistence.

The result leaves Slovakia without a point after two matches, while Ukraine moves into contention for a spot in the knockout stages. They will next face Spain, while Slovakia will take on Poland in their final Group E fixtures.
