Ukraine makes Estonia cry

In front of a great crowd, home team lost the first game in the tournament

Estonia's hopes of maintaining their unbeaten run in the tournament and aiming for promotion lasted for a while.

The home team finished the first period 1-1 against the solid Ukrainian team, to then collect 4 goals in the central period, despite the good support of the public who crowded the Tondiraba Arena in Tallinn, where several yellow and blue flags also stood out.

Pylyp Pangelov-Yuldashev, awarded as MVP, and Illia Korenchuk, with two goals each, were the ones who interrupted the Estonian dream. However, the match was fun and the two teams battled each other, with Estonia, driven by an excellent performance by captain Robert Rooba, 2 goals tonight, always forced to chase their opponents from a distance.

The first defeat in the tournament could cost Estonia a lot, which can now make no more mistakes if it wants to have any hope, while the Ukrainians continue to chase the leaders Japan, who will face the last day, in a match that will most likely be decisive
