National team of Ukraine in the decisive qualifying match lost to Croatia and failed to qualify for the world Cup 2018 in Russia.
For an exit in butt matches of “blue-yellow” had to win, and in the first half the hosts were close to success. Alas, the promising moments Marlos, Stepanenko, Rakitskiy and Linnets remained moments.
In the second half the forward of “Hoffenheim” Andrew Kramaric quickly scored twice and sent the national team of Ukraine over the side of the world Cup.
Andriy Shevchenko (Ukraine): “I think the team took a step forward, despite the result. In the first half we should have scored and go into the locker room with the score 1:0. We do not have enough skills and experience. We have many young players who first play at this level”.
Zlatko Galic (Croatia): “First of all, I would like to thank my players for the match and win. We counted on that and hoped for, but it was only a small step on the way to Russia. Today, the hero not only Kramaric, but the whole team.”
