Ukraine Cossacks celebrate win over Portugal Wolves
On 17 March 2012 the Ukrainian national rugby team has achieved its first ever victory in the European Nations Cup Division 1A. Portugal was leading 33-32 until the last minute, when Oleg Kosarev demonstrated nerves of steel and kicked a penalty to make it 35-33. Even though this win will not lift Ukraine from the bottom of the table to avoid relegation, the Cossacks have shown other ENC teams that they are a force to be reckoned with in the future. The players said that the support of 3500 fans in the stadium in Odessa made all the difference and pushed them forward against the heavily favoured Portugal.
