In an evening in which the tricolors were outclassed by Colombia in Madrid after a friendly in which the final score did not, however, reflect the value difference on the field, bad news also came from Poland. Because here, in Wroclaw more precisely, Ukraine passed Iceland and booked its tickets for Euro 2024 (June 14 – July 14, Germany). We are talking about the most difficult opponent who could “land” in our group on route B.
Mudryk, the hero of Ukraine
Just like in the first tie won, the one in Zenica against Bosnia (2-1), the Ukrainians returned the score this time as well. In the match against Iceland, Guðmundsson opened the scoring in the 30th minute, but the advantage of the Nordics was canceled by the success of Tsyhankov (54). Chelsea star Mudryk then qualified for Ukraine with his 84th-minute goal.
So, after Tuesday's playoffs, Ukraine will be at Euro 2024, in group E. Which means that Romania will debut at the final tournament in the company of this national team, on June 17, in Munich.
