Slovakia will face Ukraine this Friday, at 10am (Brasília time), at the Espirit Arena, in Dusseldorf. The match will be valid for the second round of group E of the European Championship and will be broadcast by SportTV.
Slovakia was responsible for the biggest surprise of the first round. The team defeated group favorite Belgium 1-0 last Monday. With this, the Slovaks were in a position to advance in the competition in case of another victory.
“I think Ukraine have great quality. It will be a difficult game, but we also have our quality,” said coach Francesco Calzona.

On the other hand, Ukraine needs a good result. The 3-0 defeat to Romania in the debut left the team close to an early exit from the Euros.
