Total advantage
As it is known Yakovenko has only began creating a new team and at once decided to try its strength in a friendly match with a very authoritative Dutch U-21 team. It appeared that Ukrainians were not afraid of their competitors and the advantage during all the match was on their side. But instead of it there were not a great number of opportunities to score. As a result the match ended without any scored goal.
