Ukraine v Spain Match Report, Oct 13, 2020

Spain were beaten 1-0 by Ukraine on Tuesday at the stadium where they won their second consecutive European Championship eight years ago.

Spain suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Ukraine in Tuesday's Nations League clash as Luis Enrique's side endured an unhappy return to the scene of one of their greatest triumphs.

There were around 20,000 fans inside Kiev's Olympic Stadium, the venue where La Roja won Euro 2012 to cap an unprecedented four-year spell of dominance.

Spain had less to celebrate this time, though, as goalkeeper Georgi Bushchan made eight saves to keep Luis Enrique's side at bay before Viktor Tsygankov capitalised on some slack concentration at the back to score the winner 14 minutes from time.
