Ukraine were the better side but I'm not fully convinced by them.
There were occasions when I thought they could be special, but as the game went on they couldn't keep it going well enough.
They will probably go through, but will they go further than that? I'm not so sure.

Akinpelu: North Macedonia lost both games by conceding quick-fire goals despite staying competitive. With little expectation to win, they can be proud of the effort. We'll done to Pandev, running his socks off at 37yrs

North Macedonia can be proud of themselves. They really equipped themselves well, took the game to Ukraine in the second half and created some decent chances. OK, they lacked moments of real quality but through effort and putting everything they can into the game, they have done very well.
And, by the way, their supporters were magnificent today.

Ukraine 2-1 North Macedonia
This is the first European Championship game to see both sides win a penalty (excl. shootouts) since England v France in 2004.
Also, since 1980 (when Opta have this data available), this is the first European Championship match to see both sides miss a penalty.

It's quite incredible, both goalkeepers have done exactly the same thing, running along the line from one side to the other, and it's spooked both penalty takers.
SUBSTITUTION
Ukraine 2-1 North Macedonia
A double change for North Macedonia as they chase this. Ivan Trickovski and Kire Ristevski are on for Darko Velkoski and Arijan Ademi.

By the letter of the law, as soon as I saw that I thought it was a penalty. His arm was away from his body.
A yellow card is harsh though.
