Online broadcast of the match Wales – Ukraine live in text form
Today, June 5, at 19:00 Kyiv time, in the decisive match of the 2022 World Cup playoffs, Wales and Ukraine. The match will take place in Cardiff at the Cardiff City stadium.
Good evening! Sport Arena welcomes you to the online final match of the European selection for the 2022 World Cup. Wales accepts Ukraine! Broadcast hosted by Alexander Zvirk.
Here it is – the moment of truth. That same final, the decisive match, the last barrier in front of our national team on the way to the World Cup in Qatar. The winner takes all, the loser will be inconsolable. According to Karavaev, the upcoming game is the most important in life for Ukrainian players. Popov agrees with him. Well, let’s not argue.
Wales – Ukraine: layouts
Despite all the difficulties of preparation caused by military aggression on the part of the Russian state, the Ukrainian national team managed to approach the match against Scotland fully armed and win a natural victory. The next opponent is also from Britain, and he is definitely no less difficult. At least due to the figure of Bale, but not only him.
Back in March, the Welsh Dragons dealt with difficult Austria (2:1) and waited for an opponent for more than two months – as you know, the matches of the Ukrainian team were postponed to June due to the war.
The match today is expected to be sold out – 35,000 spectators. Two thousand of them are Ukrainian fans.
These teams have met three times before. In the selection for the 2022 World Cup, two 1-1 draws were recorded (frank failures for Lobanovsky’s team). And in March 2016, Fomenko’s wards minimally beat the future semi-finalists of the European Championship in a friendly match; Yarmolenko scored a goal from Rotan’s pass. Our team has changed beyond recognition; the Wales roster retained many players. True, Bale then rested.
Wales-Ukraine: personnel
Coach Robbie Page (played against Ukraine 21 years ago) managed to bring together all the strongest players – with the possible exception of the traumatic playmaker Brooks. Available age stars bale and ramsey, whose season turned out to be a failure. Gareth played for Madrid as much as 290 minutes (7 appearances on the field). Aaron did not appear much more often for Juventus and Rangers.
On the Ukrainian side, all those players who helped to win over Scotland were preparing for the match, plus a debutant who arrived at the team’s location Ignatenko. However, Daniil did not get into the application for today’s match. As well as Lunin, Popov and Sikan.
Match referee Wales – Ukraine
Today’s match will be served by the Spanish brigade, led by Antonio Mateu Laos. An experienced referee (44 years old) is included in the continental top – it was he who judged last year’s Champions League final (Chelsea’s victory over Man City).
At the matches of the Ukrainian national team, Laos worked three times. In 2017, Shevchenko’s team lost in Croatia 0:1. But further – only positive: the removal of Serbia 5:0 and the most recent victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina 2:0.
Judges of the VAR are also Spaniards: Juan Martinez Munuera and Ricardo de Burgos.
Pre-match quotes
No clear favorite found. On the victory of Wales in regular time, the odds are slightly lower (2.71) than on the success of the Ukrainian team (2.95). Quotes for hitting the World Cup are as follows: 1.90 vs. 1.92. The option “Both to score” can be taken for 1.95.

But let’s not grieve for long. It’s just a sport. Here, no one fights anyone to the death. Let Ukraine lose on the football field today. Much more important is that she wins on the battlefield. Stock up on optimism, friends!
That’s all. Wales win a minimal victory and advance to the World Cup. Ukraine loses for the first time under Petrakov. This tale had an unhappy ending.

Problems with Davis. Pause Dragons on hand.
87′
Almost passed Mudrik’s pass to Yarmolenko. And Hennessy coped with Mikolenko’s blow.
86′
Wilson did not break the wall.
85′
Mudrik broke the rules in vain. Not far from the Ukrainian gates.
84′
Yes kill you already!!! Dovbik closes the canopy – Hennessy drags! Finishes Karavaev – in the defender …
83′
Wilson instead of Bale. Anyway, the captain did his job. Now Ramsey has a bandage.
8:16 on strikes. 2:6 – on target. And here is the account…
77′
And immediately moment! They rolled well (Mudryk participated), Yarmolenko’s shot was covered by the defender …
77′
Mudrik With Dovbikom on the field. Instead of Tsygankova and Yaremchuk.
76′
Oooh, rebound! And — bravo, Bushchan! Saved after being shot by Bale.
75′
Forgive Wales! Cross on the right, Johnson one, blow – barbell !!!
74′
Shaparenko’s shot is missed.
71′
Page responds: Johnson instead of James.
70′
Petrakov launches two Dynamo players. Shaparenko and Sidorchuk instead of Malinovsky and Stepanenko.
69′
Zinchenko closed a long pass to Matvienko… Extremely inaccurate.
68′
Tsygankov on the penalty line went to beat … It didn’t work out.
Our guys are desperately short of speed. Predictably hooked…
66′
A cunning long-range strike by Malinovsky. Alas, slightly inaccurate.
64′
Bale woke up. One passed, but gave the pass unsuccessfully.
62′
James beat with a rebound – Buschan had to pull the ball out from under the bar.
The hour is behind. Isn’t it time for replacements?
And Tsygankov’s pass was good.
59′
Davis saves – removes the ball from Yarmolenko’s foot in front of the goal!
55′
Yes, how is it!!! Well, you have to beat it. Mikolenko’s cross at close range was closed by Tsygankov – Hennessy! Finishing off Yaremchuk – by …
As before, the guests almost did not succeed in a positional attack.
51′
Page yellow for indignation.
49′
Wales’ counter-attack almost became a goal! Luckily, Ramsey missed Moore’s pass.
Wales scored 7 goals from set pieces (excluding penalties) in 2022 World Cup qualification. Only England has more – 9.
Second half. We believe!!!
“Favbet offers a risk-free bet. Come over and claim your exclusive bonus!»
Wales win in regular time is now credited for 1.63. You can bet on Ukraine not to lose 2.26. The fact that the guests will score the next goal, the coefficient 2.06.
Ukraine had the advantage. But she couldn’t score. In response, she received an offensive own goal. Plus the rain. Plus, refereeing disfavor: an unaccounted goal, an unassigned penalty (there was a suspicious contact between Allen and Yarmolenko at the end of the half) … Well, so far so. Our team has reserves to strengthen the game.
Break. Wales lead 1-0…
45+2′
James shot from the penalty area – straight into the hands of Buschan.
The half ends under Welsh control.
The guests do not have a combination game at all. Looking forward to a magical break?
40′
Well kissed Zinchenko! But in the near and the bottom, Hennessy managed.
Heavy rain over the field. Probably, this factor also somehow corrects the game.
The game of Petrakov’s team somehow fell apart. You need to come to your senses!
34′
Ehhh … Wales scores. And Bale does it, of course. Not without the help of Yarmolenko: it was Andrey who sent a free-kick into his own net. 1:0!!!
32′
Mikolenko mustard plaster got busy. Inaccurately played with an elbow against James.
31′
And then Hennessy saves, in a throw, removing the ball from Tsygankov’s leg! Again Yaremchuk is good in accompaniment.
thirty’
Yarmolenko threw it into the goalkeeper’s area – Yaremchuk just missed it.
28′
Tsygankov ran away almost one on one (Yaremchuk’s pass). He didn’t score, and the offside referee whistled. By the way, offside is doubtful.
26′
Zinchenko’s long-range shot was covered. Ampadu set himself up, it hurts him.
24′
Cool cross Ramsey – the ball barely got to Moore!
22′
Massive attack. Mikolenko crossed, the ball got to Karavaev, but Alexander failed to break through immediately.
21′
Bale’s ultra-long, ultra-inaccurate strike. And many were wondering: is Gareth even on the field? Well, keep hiding.
19′
Problems with Bushchan… Requires medical intervention.
17′
Buschan was not clear at the exit, but the referee recorded a foul in the attack.
The game is on a collision course. Looks very cheerful.

Oh no no no! Yaremchuk misses a good chance. Did not create an insoluble problem for the 35-year-old goalkeeper.
9′
Cross Tsygankov, rebound – the goalkeeper reacts!
eight’
Tsygankov answered with a long-range blow. Right in the corner: Hennessey touch, corner.

Williams beat Yarmolenko, shifted, shot. Past.

5′
For the first time, the hosts came to our penalty area. No success.
four’
Now struck Malinovsky. Hennessy did it.
3′
Zinchenko scored with a direct blow, took Hennessy by surprise! Alas, the goal is illegitimate – Laos shows what is needed on the whistle. Sorry, very sorry.
2′
Played very hard Allen against Stepanenko. And he was instantly punished!
Ukraine took possession of the ball from the first seconds.
Started!!!
The anthem sounded. There are many Ukrainian flags in the stands!
Petrakov did not change anything in the winning line-up. And can anyone blame him for it?
Page identified as the basis of all those who were worth waiting for there. Almost nothing to do with the squad against Poland in the recent LN match (only James and Moore). But only one change in comparison with the March match against Austria.

Ukraine (4-1-4-1): Bushchan – Karavaev, Zabarny, Matvienko, Mikolenko – Stepanenko – Yarmolenko, Malinovsky, Zinchenko, Tsygankov – Yaremchuk
