SLOVAKIA left Ukraine bamboozled with an amazing goal from a genius “fake” throw-in at Euro 2024.
Last week’s Group E fixture saw Ukraine win their first game of the group stage with a much-needed 2-1 victory.
Mykhailo Mudryk’s men went 1-0 down in a dire first half before producing a valiant fightback in the second.
It means Ukraine, Romania, Belgium and Slovakia are all tied on three points heading into the final group matches.
But the latter may have scored the cleverest goal of the entire campaign so far.
Despite losing to Ukraine, Slovakia can take solace in their amazing opener after just 17 minutes.

He made out he was going to be the one in charge of the set-piece.
But instead, Haraslin cheekily tossed the ball to David Hancko before sprinting into Ukraine’s box.
Hancko quickly launched a throw over the heads of opposition defenders and straight into Haraslin’s path.
