Heading to the World Cup. Ukraine and Scotland faced each other this Wednesday in Glasgow in a match corresponding to the European playoffs for Qatar 2022.
The first half between the Ukrainian National Team and its counterpart from Scotland was more than entertaining at Hampden Park. The Ukrainian team insisted on finding the first goal and they would achieve it through forward Andriy Yarmolenko, from West Ham United. His goal came in the 33rd minute.
Yarmolenko received a great pass from midfielder Ruslan Malinovsky and, facing the opposing goalkeeper, he chipped the ball. He made an incredible 'nutmeg' for Ukraine's goal.
