Argyle's Talovierov wins Ukraine cap in win over NZ

Maksym Talovierov missed the last international window due to injury

Plymouth Argyle centre-back Maksym Talovierov earned his eighth cap for Ukraine in his country's 2-1 win over New Zealand.

The 24-year-old came on with 24 minutes to go in the friendly in Toronto as he won his first cap since moving to Home Park in January.

Oleksiy Hutsuliak put Ukraine ahead nine minutes after half-time, only for Marko Stamenic to equalise five minutes later.

Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko got the winning goal with 15 minutes to go as recently released Argyle striker Ben Waine led the line for the All Whites.

Meanwhile fellow Plymouth defender Victor Palsson played in Iceland's 1-0 loss to Northern Ireland.

He did not face Argyle team-mate Conor Hazard after the Northern Ireland goalkeeper was injured in his side's 2-1 loss to Denmark on Saturday.

Palsson played the full 90 minutes, four days after scoring for his country in their 3-1 win over Scotland at Hampden Park.
