England beat Germany 2-0 in the Round of 16 and on the very same day, Ukraine went past Sweden 2-1. Now, these two sides will face off against each other in the quarter-finals of the European Championship.
England managed to neutralize the German threat as they came up with one of the best defensive performances we have seen in a really long time from a national side.
Ukraine, on the other hand, managed to win the game thanks to a 121st-minute goal from Dovbyk, as the match went into extra time.
There’s no denying that Gareth Southgate’s side will be the odds out favourites to pick up a win in this fixtures but Ukraine, under Andriy Shevchenko cannot be totally written off, especially after the grit and determination they showed against Sweden.
