Sweden Loses 1-0 to Young Ukraine Side

June 1st, 2008 | By: Ian Rose | 2 Comments »

As the above video shows, we saw the second warm-up loss for a Euro 2008 side today, as Group D challengers Sweden took on Ukraine in their final preparation friendly. And as the video also shows, they not only failed to break down the tough Ukraine defense, but fell 1-0 to a lovely boot from outside the box. The shooter is Serhiy Nazarenko, who plays for Dnipro. This is his fifth international goal, and provides a little bit of revenge for the World Cup quarterfinalists, who have fallen on tough times since. The finished a disappointing fourth in Euro qualifying, behind France, Italy and the Scots, and so I’m sure it felt good to take a Euro scalp five days before the tournament. As for Sweden, they were booed off the pitch by their home fans. Not the best of preparations.
