Match background • The teams' only two previous meetings were friendly matches: a 0-0 draw in Kyiv in 2003 and a 1-0 win for FYR Macedonia in Skopje in March 2004, in which Goran Stavrevski (26) scored the only goal. • Ukraine opened their home campaign in Group C with a 1-0 defeat against Slovakia, while FYR Macedonia's first foreign trip in UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying ended in a 5-1 loss to European champions Spain. • Both teams bounced back from those opening defeats to win on matchday two, Ukraine triumphing 2-0 in Belarus and FYR Macedonia beating Belarus 3-2. • In four meetings between the nations' clubs in UEFA competition, Ukrainian sides have won three matches to the Macedonian clubs' one. • The lone meeting between the nations in UEFA age-group tournaments ended in a 3-0 win for Ukraine's Under-19s in 2011. 3 Ukraine - North Macedonia Sunday 12 October 2014 - 18.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Arena Lviv, Lviv Squad list Ukraine Current season Overall Qual.
