The Ukrainian national basketball team demonstrated character and skill in the final round of the first stage of the qualification for the 2027 World Championship. In an away match against the Danish team, the "blue and yellows" secured a convincing victory with a score of 99:69, ensuring their advancement to the final stage of the qualifiers.

### From Deficit to Total Dominance

The match in Farum, Denmark, did not start according to plan for Ainars Bagatskis's team. The home team showed high activity in the opening minutes, managing to seize the initiative. By the end of the first quarter, the Danish team held a slight lead, winning 25:22.

However, the turning point arrived in the second ten-minute period. The Ukrainian team radically changed their style of play, implementing tough defense and building a flawless offense. The opponents could not withstand the pressure, conceding 31 points while scoring only 12 of their own. The teams went into halftime with a solid Ukrainian lead of 53:37.

### The Final Note and the Star of the Match

In the second half, the "blue and yellows" only increased their pace, leaving the Danes no chance for a comeback. The final whistle recorded a crushing score of 99:69.

The main hero of the match was guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk. He delivered a fantastic performance, scoring 30 points and becoming the key figure in the national team's offense.

### Outlook: The Path to the World Championship

Thanks to this victory, the Ukrainian national team finished the first stage of the qualifiers in second place in Group A. The team has 4 wins and 2 losses to their credit — a statistic that significantly improves their chances of securing a ticket to the World Championship.

Ahead of Bagatskis's team is the final round of qualifiers. The "blue and yellows" will play six decisive matches against the three best teams that advance from the parallel Group B. The start of this intense stage is scheduled for late summer — August 28.
