The Ukrainian team was finally able to play the first semi-final match of the European playoff against Qatar 2022 and not only did they play the match against Scotland, but they also finished winning 3-1 so they will seek to seal their classification next Sunday against Wales.
The Ukrainian players made it clear that although the war against Russia continues in their country, which is why the playoff that the other teams played in March was postponed, they were committed to representing their nation and want to conquer the classification, something that the Ukrainian legend Andriy Shevchenko had previously commented on.
“This match is much more than a football match for us. Going to the World Cup would be very important for Ukraine at this time“said the former AC Milan player.
The intensity with which Ukraine came out materialized early after one of the team’s great stars, Yarmolenko, defined with a subtle Vaseline a sensational long pass by Malinovsky behind the back of the Scottish defense .
Subsequently, Ukraine ended up doubling their lead four minutes into the second half, with a goal from striker Roman Yaremchuk, who made it 0-2 by shooting from head a cross from the right flank by Oleksandr Karavayev.

With the 0-2 against, Scotland went all out in search of discount, which finally arrived with eleven minutes to go after a shot by midfielder Callum McGregor in which the Ukrainian goalkeeper Georgi Bushchan had some complicity.
However, when everything seemed that Scotland could achieve equality, an extra-time goal from Artem Dovbyk appeared to sentence actions.
In this way, Ukraine manages to reach the final of the other key in the European playoff against Qatar 2022, which will take place next Sunday facing a Wales that won this Wednesday 1-0 to Poland for the League of Nations, and that the winger Gareth Bale was reserved for that match.
