95'FT: Ukraine 1-0 Spain!! All over in Kiev!!! Ukraine win this one thanks to a goal by Tsygankov in the 76th min after a pass by Yarmolenko. Ukraine picked up at the start of the second half, but then Spain took control again. They didn't find the net though and Ukraine scored with a rare opportunity to claim the three points and leave Group 4 in League A wide open. That's all from us, thanks for your company and see you again soon!
