Ukraine's Dramatic Victory Over Sweden Sends Them into Euro 2020 Quarterfinals

In a thrilling match that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the very end, Ukraine emerged victorious over Sweden in their Round of 16 clash at Hampden Park in Glasgow. The game ended 2-1 in favor of Ukraine, with Artem Dovbyk scoring the winning goal in extra time.

The match got off to a great start for Ukraine, as Oleksandr Zinchenko opened the scoring just before the half-hour mark. He smashed a half-volley from the far post past Sweden's goalkeeper Robin Olsen, giving his team a crucial lead. However, Sweden was not one to give up easily and they managed to pull level just before halftime through a goal from Viktor Claesson.

The second half was a tense and physical affair, with both teams creating chances but failing to find the back of the net. Ukraine's 10 men, following the sending off of Andriy Yarmolenko in the first half, worked tirelessly to defend their lead and push forward for a winner.

It seemed that the game would be heading into penalties when Ukraine finally found the breakthrough they needed. In the dying moments of extra time, Artem Dovbyk rose above the Swedish defense to power home a header from a corner kick, sending the Ukrainian fans into raptures.

With this victory, Ukraine has become just the second team to reach the quarterfinals of Euro 2020, joining France as one of the last eight teams standing. They will face either England or Germany in their next match, and will be looking to continue their impressive run in the tournament.
