Yarmolenko sinks Wales in Ukraine

Andriy Yarmolenko's well-taken goal handed Ukraine a 1-0 win over Wales in Kiev on Monday in the final fixture before both sides name their 23-man squads for the European Championship.

Wales were without both Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey for their trip to the Olympic Stadium, but forced an early save from Ukraine goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov through Tom Lawrence.

Joe Allen also saw a long-range drive repelled by Pyatov, with Yarmolenko netting the only goal on 28 minutes as he fired past Wayne Hennessey after latching onto Ruslan Rotan's clever free-kick.

Wales will face Sweden on June 5 in their final friendly before heading to Euro 2016, but Chris Coleman will have to name his tournament squad by the end of May.

Debutants Wales are drawn alongside England, Russia and Slovakia in Group B, while Ukraine, co-hosts of the 2012 edition, are in Group C with world champions Germany, Poland and Northern Ireland.
