Match Report
Ukraine withstand Portuguese fightback to claim second win
Article
5 September 2021
Dmytro Viietskyi"It was a hard match for us. At the beginning we played well, but after the second set we lost our focus and concentration. In the third part we made many own mistakes and then Portugal started to play better and better and this way we went into the tie-break. But a good thing is that our team managed to focus on the fifth set and that we earned this important win."
opposite of Ukraine
Filip Cveticanin"We had a difficult start being down 2-0, but we were able to come back. Then unfortunately we had some moments when we lost concentration and we were also missing some experience, because we have a young team, we made some rookie's mistakes which should have happened in critical moments and decided about our loss."
