World Cup alternate qualifiers - Ukraine one step away from the World Cup

Ukraine will be the opponent of Wales in the final of the World Cup qualifiers after the former won 3-1 as a guest of Scotland on Wednesday.

The Ukrainians, who were in control throughout the match in Glasgow, took the lead in the 33rd minute with Andriy Yarmolenko's goal, then doubled their advantage immediately after the break: Roman Yaremchuk scored in the 49th minute. The Scots didn't even have a chance to win at home, their beautiful goal scored in the 79th minute - thanks to Callum McGregor - required a goalkeeping error. The final result was set by Artyem Dovbjuk in the final game. In the 78th minute, Ferencváros winger Oleksandr Zubkov entered the field as a substitute for the visiting team.

The clash was originally scheduled for March, but was postponed due to the war situation in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Wales bid farewell to Austria and waited more than two months for their last qualifying opponent.

The Poles from the AB branch, the Portuguese from the C branch fought for World Cup participation.

Standing without their best players, Wales lost 2-1 in Poland in the opening match of the third edition of the Nations League in Division A on Wednesday.

The tournament in Qatar will begin on November 21, and the winner of this additional qualifier will be in Group B at the World Cup, along with England, the United States, and Iran.

The Wales-Ukraine clash will be held in Cardiff on Sunday for participation.

Result, World Championship alternate qualifier, semi-final:

Scotland-Ukraine 1-3 (0-1)

goal: McGregor (79th), Yarmolenko (33rd), Jaremchuk (49th), Dovbjuk (95th)
