After a 2:6 defeat in the first meeting, head coach Volodymyr Samborsky updated the starting line-up.
Salve from “Juventus” opened the scoring after an unsuccessful penalty kick. At the end of the half, Rastello, another representative of Juventus, shot accurately into the far corner from 15 meters.
In the final minutes of the match, the high pressing of the Italians caused the Ukrainians to lose the ball in the penalty area. The defenders and the goalkeeper neutralized the first two shots, but with the third attempt, the opponents brought the score to 3:0 – a victory for Italy U-16.
