In many ways, the first match was the key, which they managed to win against Ukraine with a score of 3:0. We could not resist against Belgium in the second match - 0:2.
In the last round it was important not to lose to the Slovaks, with this task coped, playing 1:1. The first place in the quartet way to get an opponent easier in the playoffs, although here it did not work, because got to the strong, although not quite stable Dutch.
