The girls under Nataliya Ignatovich faced Estonia. The Ukrainians started well and opened the scoring in the 11th minute. After Vitalina Boychuk's shot hit the post, Hanna Rozdobaha was first to react for the rebound. In the 24th minute, blue-and-yellow doubled their lead. Yulia Kutsiba scored from a penalty spot against the opponents.

In the second half, our girls managed to score a third goal thanks to Vitalina Boychuk's individual efforts. She stole the ball from an opponent and immediately shot it in from the penalty line. Thus, 3:0 — victory for the Ukrainian team.
