The Ukrainian team was sent to Reykjavik on the euphoric wings after defeating the Turkish team in the qualifying match of the 2018 World Cup. However, to continue the successful promotion of the tournament distance, the team led by Andrey Shevchenko failed.

The defeat of Iceland with the score 0: 2 did not deprive Ukraine of the chances of first place, but now the fate of the national team will depend not only on its own results, but also on how the opponents will play in the remaining rounds.

The national team of Ukraine is to play on October 6 on the road against Kosovo, and on October 9 to host the group I leader Croatia in Kiev.
