The final tournament, which will take place from November 21 to December 18, is known to 30 of the 32 participants. Wales will begin their second appearance among the elite with a duel against the USA. Iran and the island derby with England await him in Group B.

“It’s the biggest win in the history of Welsh football. We’ve achieved a dream and I can’t even describe how happy I am now,” Welsh captain Gareth Bale told Sky Sports television.

The match in Cardiff decided the last to move on from the European side of qualifying. It was originally scheduled to be played similarly to the next playoff game in March, but due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine it was moved to June. Ukraine qualified for the final with a 3-1 win over Scotland on Wednesday.

However, the Ukrainians were unsuccessful against another island rival. The duel was decided by the situation from the 34th minute, when home star Bale sent a free kick across the box and Jarmolenko headed the ball into his own net. The Welsh scored the seventh goal from a standard situation in qualifying.

Both teams created several scoring chances after the switch ends, but the scoreline remained unchanged. In the best chance, substitute Johnson hit the post. Ukraine overtook the opponent 24:9, but unlike the “Dragons”, they have not yet added a second participation in the World Cup.

“We did everything we could. I’m sorry we couldn’t score, but that’s sport. I have nothing against the players,” said Ukraine coach Oleksandr Petrakov.
