Midfielder of the Ukrainian national team Ruslan Malinovsky summed up the winning match against Scotland (3:1) in the semi-finals of the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup.

" We were leading, the second goal helped us a lot.

Of course, after that we sat a little lower. There were losses of the ball in the center of the field, there were counterattacks of the opponent. But we did very well. Yes, we missed it, but it's okay. We scored at the end, we won, the main thing is the result. I note that we showed a very high level of football.

After the first half we knew what would happen if we conceded. We saw how the stands drove the hosts forward. We felt this atmosphere. I have to say that she was great and our fans in the stands were fantastic. This victory is for all Ukrainians, for those who are now at the forefront. We are with them. But so far we have done 50% of the work. The most important thing is the next match,"

On June 5, in Cardiff, the Ukrainian national team will meet with Wales in the match for a ticket to the 2022 World Cup.
