The match of Group A6 took place in the Romanian town of Buftea. Under the guidance of Lyudmila Lemeschko, her team played evenly with their opponents but ultimately lost.

The key moment of the first half was a penalty on the 22nd minute that Lil Rickenbach failed to convert.

The scoreless tie held until almost the end of the match, but in the fifth added minute Linne Laetwiler finally directed the ball into the blue and yellow goalposts.

Thus, 0:1 — a disappointing loss for Ukraine's women's team.

Ukraine's next match in the Euro-2026 (WU-17) qualification will be on November 29 against Austria.
