Ukraine suffered a chastening defeat in its opening group game on Monday, producing a dour display in a 3-0 defeat against Romania.
But Ukraine looked rejuvenated after the break and came out for the second half with a new sense of belief.
“It’s very good emotions for our people of Ukraine who are really missing these emotions,” Rebrov said in his post-match interview on Friday.
In this kind of tournament, you can win, you can lose, but it’s very important how you do it.
“We deserve this win and I think today we really played with spirit.”
