It took time to get the better of defensive system of Serbia, but Ukraine earns the first three points in Tallinn
66 shots on target to 10: this statistic says a lot about how the match between Ukraine and Serbia went: a lot but not all, because in reality for almost 30 minutes the Serbian defensive wall withstood the continuous Ukrainian attacks, with goalie Akim Padalitsa on fire, author of great saves.
But when Daniil Trakht finally managed to score the first goal, in the 28th minute, the Ukrainian attack unblocked and another 6 goals arrived before the end.
In the middle, an injury to Evgeny Fadeyev, who was knocked out with a knee blow, fortunately not serious, but which cost Mirko Djumic, the best Serbian player, a match penalty. Coach Nemanja Jankovic's men failed to repeat the performance against Estonia of the previous day, against an opponent who proved to be too superior
