Former player of the Ukrainian national team Vasily Kobin, exclusively for the metaratings.by, said that he was not surprised by the nature of the game, in which the Netherlands dominated the game. In his opinion, the Oranje roster has multiple individually strong players, and the opposing team deserved to win.

However, Kobin noted that it would be wiser to switch to a more defensive scheme after Ukraine managed to level the score. In general, according to the former footballer, the national team left a pleasant impression with their performance. For the players and head coach Andriy Shevchenko, the main task is to recover and prepare for the next game with North Macedonia.

Forward Roman Yaremchuk became the best player in the Ukrainian national team in the match with the Netherlands, according to WhoScored. He scored a goal and managed to provide an assist, having received 7,8 points in the end.

Also, two more players were able to score seven or more points among Roman's teammates: Andriy Yarmolenko, who scored the first goal of the Ukrainian national team (7,6), and Oleksandr Zinchenko (7,0), who became the best player in terms of the number of successful tackles among players of all teams at the current Euro-2020, eight out of eight, according to Squawka.

The head coach of the Netherlands national team Frank de Boer noted the versatility of Oleksandr. According to him, the Oranje failed to cope with Zinchenko, who switched to the winger position after Marlos left the field. He also admired Yarmolenko's goal, calling it «Magnificent, but unnecessary».

We remind you that the next game of the Ukrainian national team in the Euro-2020 group stage against North Macedonia will take place on June 17 in Bucharest.
