A very well-taken equalising goal and a great assist for Roman Yaremchuk’s winning goal are enough for Mykola Sheparenko to be awarded UEFA’s Player of the Match award.
Without the 25-year-old, Ukraine may well have been looking at elimination.
Had Slovakia held on for a point, or gone on to win the game themselves, I have no doubt that Stanislav Lobotka would have been the recipient of that award — he was excellent.
