Alexander stood up for the fan who ran onto the field.
Ukrainian national team midfielder Alexander Zinchenko became a participant in an interesting episode after the completion of the final match of the play-off qualifying for Euro 2024 against the Iceland team.
Sergei Rebrov's team won a strong-willed victory (2:1) and won a ticket to the Euro 2024 final tournament. After the final whistle, some fans at the stadium in Wroclaw began to run onto the field, not holding back their joyful emotions.
One of these fans was caught by a Polish law enforcement officer and, according to the rules, began to take him out of the field. However, this did not please Zinchenko, who decided to stand up for the guy and “recapture” him from the police.
Such actions of the captain of the “blue-and-yellows” were appreciated by the fans in the stands, who began chanting in his honor.
