Our country was bypassed by Norway
According to the results of the first matches of the third qualifying round of European competitions Ukraine lost one position in the UEFA ranking. Our country dropped to 15th placeskip ahead Norway. And, judging by the results and impressions of the game of our representatives, the decline will continue.
This mid-week, our teams did not earn any points for the country. Dnipro-1 lost away to Slavia (0:3) within the framework of the Europa League qualification, Dynamo lost to Aris in the framework of the Conference League qualification.
Thus, Ukraine has 1.1 points left this season. Shakhtar brought Ukraine 0.8 points for a direct hit in the Champions League group. Dnepr got 0.1 points for a draw with Panathinaikos, 0.2 points – Vorskla for a victory over Dila.
Ukraine is 0.25 points behind Norway, which has started four clubs and has retained its full quota. At the same time, the Norwegians have already earned 0.625 points more than Ukraine. Israel also causes concern, which this season scored twice as many points as Ukraine and lags behind our country by only 0.375 points.
