BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Ukraine need to shrug off the disappointment of conceding a stoppage-time goal in their 3-2 defeat by the Netherlands in Euro 2020 and shift the focus to the crunch game against North Macedonia on Thursday, head coach Andriy Shevchenko said.

Having erased a 2-0 deficit against the Dutch in their opening Group C match on Sunday, the Ukrainians were sunk by a late Denzel Dumfries header in Amsterdam when it seemed they had done enough to earn a draw.
