The Ukrainian national team missed the goal, but could not upset the opponent.
In Cardiff at Cardiff City Stadium in As part of the final match of the playoffs for the 2022 World Cup, the national team of Ukraine met with the team of Wales .
The Ukrainians were defeated 0-1 and could not make it to the World Cup in Qatar.
At the start of the first half, Zinchenko scored from the penalty spot, but made a shot without a whistle, so the referee did not count the goal. Alexander Petrakov's charges created a series of sharp moments, but the Welsh goalkeeper acted reliably.
The Welsh team scored in the 34th minute. Bale passed from the penalty spot, and Yarmolenko headed the ball into his own goal. It is also worth noting the episode with the fall of Yarmolenko in the opponent's penalty area – the referee decided not to put a penalty after a VAR tip.
At the beginning of the second half, Ukraine did not use another chance to score. Tsygankov closed the shot from a few meters and did not beat the goalkeeper, and then the ball from Yaremchuk's leg went out of bounds. Wales acted second, but also had their moments – the ball hit the post after Williams' shot, and Bale could not beat Bushchan.
Hennessy took courage and kept the winning result for his team.
