With a win against Belgium in their first match, the Slovakians can confirm their qualification to the next round if they manage to beat Ukraine today.
The right side of the Ukraine defense were caught napping from a throw-in and the cross into the box on the far post made life difficult for Zinchenko.
The early pressure from Slovakia has worked in their favour but Ukraine still have a long way to make a comeback in the match.
