England largely beat Ukraine in the quarter-finals of Euro 2020. 4: 0!

Briefly (if possible)

At the half -empty stadium of Olympico in Rome, a few English fans sing their anthem with a line of Footballʼs Coming Home . The football players of the England team begin to pedantically destroy the chances of the Ukrainian national team to win. The first four minutes they do not allow Ukrainians to make at least a touch. And then Rakhim Sterling jerked away from Nikolai Shaparenko on the corner of the penalty of Ukrainians, makes a cutting gear, and the Captain of the British Harry Kane from close range pierces the ball into the gate - past the goalkeeper Georgy Bushchanan. Then the British - as usual at this championship - turn the game into a thrush. They do not play themselves and do not let others play (or Ukrainians cannot, only denoting a couple of “approaches” to the penalty area without impact on a target). In the attack, the British promote the ball strictly according to the flanks (where the loss is not a great danger), but still have a couple of dangerous moments, and Ukraine - not one. The second half turns for a Ukrainian team of disaster: in the first minute after the corner (standards - a trump card of boring England), Harry Maguire, the central defender of Harry Maguire clogs his head. And Kane immediately clogs, completing the counterattack. The fourth goal is also from the standard - Jordan Henderson is replaced by a replacement. Ukraine answers only the “approaches” to the penalty area, and England does not depart from tracting football - and goes to the semifinals, where July 7 in London will meet with Denmark.
