The national football team of Ukraine beat the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina 2:0 in the last group match and got the opportunity to play in the playoffs for the final part of the 2022 World Cup.

Ukraine has 12 points and the second position. Finland has 11 points.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky reacted to the victory of the Ukrainian national team in his Telegram channel.
"We will support these football players until the end, we will tear their throats when they manage to make it to the 2022 World Cup. Can it be otherwise? I am generally sure that there is no. Because these guys are the Ukrainian national football team," Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote.
