On that note, here are the player ratings for both teams:Ukraine Player Ratings against EnglandUkraine were outclassed by England.Heorhiy Bushchan - 6/10Bushchan produced some confident stops in the match but had no chance with any of England's goals. The Ukrainian custodian could've done better for the first one, though.Illya Zabarnyi - 5/10England's marauding attackers knocked the daylights out of Zabarnyi, who struggled to keep up with their pace and looked shaky on the ball.Serhiy Kryvtsov - 5/10Kane tied Kyyvtsov in knots for England's first goal before the latter's game ended prematurely after he got injured.Mykola Matviyenko - 6/10Matviyenko was difficult to beat in one-on-one situations and made two clearances and interceptions apiece. But he let Maguire off the hook in the build-up to England's second goal.Oleksandr Karavayev - 6/10England's high press pinned Karavayev back and limited his attacking movements.Mykola Shaparenko - 5/10He's usually Ukraine's creative spark, but playing in a slightly deeper position against England negated his attacking threat.Serhiy Sydorchuk - 6/10Sydorchuk cleaned up everything ahead of his side's defence but couldn't do much when Ukraine fell apart in the second half.Oleksandr Zinchenko - 6.5/10A switch in position liberated Zinchenko to some extent, as he saw more of the ball and drove forward more often. However, the Manchester City star's overall impact still left a lot to be desired.Vitaliy Mykolenko - 6/10England - or more specifically, Kyle Walker - made the most of the space behind Mykolenko, who tracked Jadon Sancho. Mykolenko threw his body on the line to stop England's attacks, making five tackles and reading the game well, making four interceptions.Andriy Yarmolenko - 5/10It was a forgettable game for Yarmolenko, who looked well off the pace and couldn't break down England's defence when going forward.Although tonight wasn't meant to be, there's plenty to be proud of 👏🇺🇦 @Yarmolenko_7#EURO2020 pic.twitter.com/1Pv1yECc7g— West Ham United (@WestHam) July 3, 2021Roman Yaremchuk - 6/10He was the only bright spot in Ukraine's attack, as everything good on the offensive front stemmed through him. The 25-year-old ran directly at the England defence and mustered a few venomous shots. He was also the only Ukraine player who came close to scoring, forcing Pickford to make a save from a shot inside the box in the 17th minute of the game.Ratings of Ukraine substitutesViktor Tsygankov - 6/10With Ukraine struggling to get into the game, Tsygankov injected some much-needed vigour after coming on, thanks to his direct runs and dribbling prowess. However, he faded in the second half when England piled on the pressure, and he also failed to mark Henderson for the fourth goal.Yevgeniy Makarenko - 5/10The 30-year-old distributed the ball around well and made two tackles in the match.
