Despite the dramatic solution to the first match of the youth national team of Ukraine on Euro-2025, Maxim Bragar’s speech gave a cause for positive. One of the heads of the Ukrainian midfielder was included in the list of the best balls of the first round by UEFA.

In the 78th minute, Bragaru’s match was perfectly attached to the ball from the penalty line, directing it with an arc to the far corner. This blow led Ukraine forward with a score of 2: 1, but it was not possible to maintain the advantage of the team – Denmark was able to answer with its goal.

In addition to the Ukrainian player, UEFA was also noted by Tommazo Baldana (Italy), Samuel Kopashek (Slovakia) and Daniel Phil (Czech Republic). It is between these four nominees that the best goal of the first round occurs.
