Ukraine are one win away from a place at the Qatar 2022 World Cup after beating Scotland in their play-off at Hampden Park on Thursday. An excellent goal from Andriy Yarmolenko set Ukraine on their way to victory which was secured by Roman Yaremchuk’s second-half goal and they will now take on Wales for a place on the plane to Qatar later in the year.
Ukraine moved a step closer to qualifying for the 2022 World Cup with an emotional 3-1 victory over Scotland at Hampden Park.
The visitors were the better team in the first half, forcing two good saves from Craig Gordon before a classy, lobbed finish from Andriy Yarmolenko put them in front.
Early in the second half Roman Yaremchuk doubled Ukraine’s lead with a deft header.
A scrambled goal from Callum McGregor with just over 10 minutes left gave Scotland hope, but they could not find an equaliser and Artem Dovbyk hit them on the break in injury time to secure the win.
Ukraine will now face Wales in Cardiff on Sunday for a place at the World Cup in Qatar in November.
