Comments

Head coach of Ukrainian team Pavel Yakovenko:

– The first match is always difficult. The team is not in an ideal sports shape yet. But we won 1:0! We are both strong teams. To tell in advance who wins is very difficult.

Head coach of Moldavian team Alexandr Kurteyan:

– It was really interesting great football match. Maybe it's strange, but I like it. We're managed to make everything we planned. We did not succeed to score. Ukrainian team did, we did not.
