Georgi Bushchan makes a great save to tip a long ranger onto the woodwork but then Ukraine give away a penalty in the scramble to clear the ball.
Big chance for North Macedonia here...

North Macedonia feel like they have to do something quite early on in this half, but because they are pushing on they are leaving gaps for Ukraine to run into.
You wouldn't be surprised if Ukraine got the next goal as there is good quality there on the break.

GREAT SAVE!
Ukraine 2-0 North Macedonia
Stole Dimitrievski has more than made up for a few wild punches with some excellent saves and he produces another one to deal with a really good Ruslan Malinovskiy free kick.

He did everything right there. He set to go one way but went the other, very unlucky not to score.
What a ball from Pandev, he just knows the right thing to do every time.

Arijan Ademi combines with Goran Pandev, playing a one-two to get into the box before firing a low effort towards the bottom corner but Georgi Bushchan makes a superb save to push it round the post.

SUBSTITUTION
Ukraine 2-0 North Macedonia
Aleksandar Trajkovski and Darko Churlinov are on for North Macedonia, replacing Stefan Spirovski and Boban Nikolov.
They need to mix things up, having had very few chances in the first half.
KICK-OFF
Ukraine 2-0 North Macedonia
Ukraine are halfway towards picking up their first win of Euro 2020 and we're back under way.

I do think Yarmolenko is a world class player, we've not seen enough of it at West Ham and that is purely down to injuries, he just could not get himself fully fit.
He is fit now and if he can keep himself fit, don't be surprised if he keeps on going.
He has 43 goals in 96 international appearances, that's real quality.

That's a good point. The officiating and use of VAR in this tournament so far has been pretty much top notch. Quick and decisive decisions on the whole.

Willem Mevius: Very good spot by the ref. Also very unsporting by Shaparenko - his side doesn't need to resort to that.
Michael Mugford: Shaparenko could have had a shot instead of diving. He'd completely done the defender into space in the box. I really don't understand. When I play football all I want to do is score goals, not win a penalty like that. Pathetic.

HALF-TIME
Ukraine 2-0 North Macedonia
A top first half performance by Ukraine and they deservedly lead at the break.

Andriy Yarmolenko and Robert Yaremchuk are also the first ever duo to score in both of their side's opening two matches at a single European Championship tournament.
Post update
Ukraine 2-0 North Macedonia
Not wanting to be outshone by Andriy Yarmolenko, Roman Yaremchuk has also scored in three consecutive appearances for Ukraine.
Yarmolenko has had five attempts at goal so far, while the clinical Yaremchuk scored with his first shot.

Shaparenko looks embarrassed and he should be embarrassed.
YELLOW CARD
Ukraine 2-0 North Macedonia
Mykola Shaparenko drives into the box and then drops to the floor with Darko Velkoski in close attention. The referee blows his whistle... and books Shaparenko for simulation. It really was a terrible dive. Great refereeing.

It was an absolutely brilliant finish from Pandev, one of the most delightful of the tournament so far
His calmness as the goalkeeper comes flying at him. It's a real shame, but he was half a yard offside though.
GREAT SAVE!
Ukraine 2-0 North Macedonia
Another great save by Stole Dimitrievski as he reacts superbly to a deflected Oleksandr Karavaev strike.
That save just about keeps North Macedonia in this.
DISALLOWED GOAL
Ukraine 2-0 North Macedonia
Oh no! A beautiful finish by Goran Pandev is scrubbed out by the linesman's flag.
He gets in behind, turns a defender before lifting the ball over the goalkeeper but he's offside.

That's a brilliant run from Roman Yaremchuk, he curved his run to stay onside, superb.
I said earlier that Yarmolenko and Yaremchuk had it in their nostrils today and there were goals in this game.
