Penalty shootout drama

There is no worst heartbreaker than a penalty shootout exit (ask Italians) and that’s what Switzerland experienced last night. Match ended nil – nil and then a horrible display of penalties by Swiss saw them out just after six penalties were taken.

Ukraine were joyful, Swiss were destroyed. Tears of joy and sadness real contrasting scenes. Most dramatic story was Ukraine’s coach couldn’t take the drama of penalty shootout, he went in dressing room and was later informed of his team triumph. They even showed him taking tablet so I guess he is a heart patient or something. So Ukraine now go and play Italy both will fancy their chances to reach the semi finals.
