On account of Yarmolenko – 112 games
Midfielder of the national team of Ukraine Andrey Yarmolenko set a historic achievement.
The midfielder came out from the first minutes in the match of the 6th round of the group stage of Division B of the League of Nations between Ukraine and Scotland. Thus, Yarmolenko surpassed the achievement of Andriy Shevchenko.
On account of Yarmolenko – 112 matches in the national team of Ukraine. The closest pursuer, who has not yet completed his performances in the blue-yellows and can surpass the midfielder’s record, is Yevhen Konoplyanka (86 games).
It should be noted that Anatoly Tymoshchuk (144 matches) was previously the leader of the national team in terms of the number of matches played. However, in March of this year, the UAF FTC stripped the former Shakhtar footballer of all titles under the auspices of Ukrainian football because of his support for the military invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine.
32-year-old Yarmolenko scored 45 goals for the Ukrainian national team and is in second place in this indicator, three goals behind Shevchenko. Al Ain winger also leads the list of the best assistants of the blue-and-yellows.
Now the team of Alexander Petrakov will play the final match in Division B of the League of Nations against Scotland. A promotion to Division A is at stake, and only victory will suit the blue-yellows.
