The national football team of Moldova continues to prepare for the qualifying competition of the 2016 UEFA European Championship. In the evening of May 27, Moldova for the first time met Canada in a friendly, in the Austrian town Amstetten. Even if Moldova led, they didn’t manage to score a victory. Sidorenko opened the score in the seventh minute, but Ricketts tied in two minutes, IPN reports.

Four days ago, Moldova played against Saudi Arabia in Spain and won a 4-0 victory. “The game against Canada wasn’t easy. The season is close to an end and fatigue is already felt,” one of the leaders of the national team Artur Ionita has told IPN.

Moldova ‘s lineup: Ilie Cebanu (Stanislav Namashko 46th minute), Victor Golovatenko, Petru Racu, Alexandru Epureanu, Veaceslav Posmac, Artur Ionita, Alexandru Gatcan, Igor Picushchiak (Eugeniu Cebotaru 49th), Alexandru Antoniuc, Artur Patras (Sergey Gheorghiev 74th), and Eugeniu Sidorenko.
