Internationals: Zinchenko gets great Euro send-off

Oleksandr Zinchenko celebrates Ukraine qualifying for Euro 2024

Oleksandr Zinchenko came on in the 30th minute as Ukraine beat Moldova 4-0 away from home on Wednesday in their final friendly ahead of Euro 2024.

He replaced Vitaliy Mykolenko at left-back on the half-hour mark. Ukraine’s goals were scored by Roman Yaremchuk, Viktor Tsyhankov, Artem Dovbyk and Heorhiy Sudakov.

It was Zinchenko’s 63rd appearance for the national team.

Ukraine begin their Euro 2024 group stage against Romania at 2pm BST on Monday, June 17, before facing Slovakia and Belgium.

They will be looking to go one further than Euro 2020 - their best year in the competition to date - when they reached the quarter-finals before being eliminated by England.
