Alexander BokulevDeputy Head of the Editorial Board SportAll materialsOn Sunday, the winners of the last European ticket to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar were determined. The Ukrainian national team was good in the match with Wales, but lost due to the most dramatic mistake. The Ukrainians played the postponed semi-final of the play-off mini-tournament on the first day of June, defeating Scotland 3:1 on the road. The UK tour continued and the Yellow-Blues arrived in Cardiff for the key game. Local fans painted the stadium red and loudly drove the hosts forward — in the best traditions of British football, which, of course, quickly sprinkled with rain over the stadium. jpg» />
Oleksandr ZinchenkoOf course, the guests did not do without active support, and already in the third minute of the meeting, the fans of the Ukrainian national team began to celebrate the opponent's goal. After breaking the rules, Oleksandr Zinchenko promptly placed the ball on the lawn and shot from several tens of meters exactly into the corner. However, the chief referee calmed the shocked Welsh and stopped the joy of the Ukrainians by canceling the goal, because the kick was struck before the whistle. However, the guests quickly recovered and continued to diligently climb forward. The attacking line of the Ukrainian national team was sometimes more active than the facial expressions of Dmitry Dyuzhev. Welsh goalkeeper Wayne Hennessy was a regular in the game, and his confidence and saves were sure to intoxicate the fans.
