Wales stunned Ukraine to win a European final ticket to the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar following the sparkle of star Gareth Bale.
Faithful to the nature of the battle for the final ticket to Europe Qatar 2022 World Cup Finalboth played at high speed from the first minute of the game.
A range of opportunities are created, but no one really has full control. Wales is the one who controls the game, however Ukraine Show that they are playing at full strength.

The Blue Shirts also had their first dangerous ball, when a dangerous finish from Roman Yaremchuk allowed Wayne Hennessey to make a 12th minute effort.
Even so, with the star class, Gareth Bell After 34 minutes, he made a sound to help Wales open the scoring. In the case of a dangerous free kick from the former Real Madrid midfielder, the inadvertent rotation of the ball made captain Andrei Yarmolenko an own goal.
After getting the ball, Ukraine immediately came to tie the game, and after being fouled in the penalty area of Yarmolenko, they succeeded slightly. However, referee Antonio Lahoz said Ukraine would not be penalized. 1-0 is the final result after the first 45 minutes.

In the second half, the players on both sides still maintained a wonderful game. Aaron Ramsey missed a very unfortunate opportunity when the former Arsenal man’s toe shot missed the net.
Along with the Ukrainian players, they also struggled to find their way into the Welsh goal, however, goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey played well on the day, making numerous fine saves.
In the closing minutes, both Ukraine and Wales scrambled to find their targets. In the 75th minute, Brennan Johnson hit the ball in Bushshan’s goal, and then Gareth Bale appeared in danger in Ukraine’s goal, but fortunately the visiting team did not lose the second goal.
Hennessey, on the other hand, had to keep showing his talent after Andrei Yarmolenko and Artem Dovbeek came in a few minutes later.
Despite the enormous effort, luck in this match was not on the Ukrainian side. After a stifling 90 minutes at Cardiff City Stadium, they accepted a 1-0 victory for Wales to advance to the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar.

It was a well-deserved victory for the home team, especially Gareth Bale. He was the man who created Yarmolenko’s own goal and has been the main defender of the backline ever since.
With this victory, Wales will enter Qatar at the end of the year, where they will be in the same group as England, the United States and Iran. As for Ukraine, they played resiliently and were able to leave the game with their heads held high.

The winners of Wales v Ukraine travel to Qatar in November, where they will be drawn in Group B with rivals England, the United States and Iran.
If Wales manager Robert Page helps his side beat Ukraine, he will go down in British history.

At that point, the 47-year-old strategist will take the lead in bringing the Dragons back to the biggest football festival on Earth, the only time the team has attended since 1958.
It wasn’t easy for Gareth Bale and his team-mates when they didn’t have a very successful qualifying period when they had to share a group with Belgium, who are currently on the FIFA list number one team.
Bale’s class has spoken out, however, with a brace at home against Austria in March to advance to the final round of qualifying for a ticket to the 2022 World Cup.
Through Scotland’s game, perhaps Wales understand that their upcoming rivals Ukraine are playing with more than 100 per cent ability and spirit.
Coach Oleksandr Petrakov’s army has endured a tough game for the first time in an official international competition following the clashes between Ukraine and Russia.
They beat Scotland convincingly 3-1 at Hampden Park in the middle of last week, on a day when their brightest star Oleksandr Zinchenko came out on top with a superb assist at the end of the game.
The yellow team has a total of 9 unbeaten games recently, and the results are relatively positive. Even so, Andrei Yarmolenko or goalkeeper Andrei Pyatov would be hard-pressed to stop Wales’ strong promotion.

Especially now that they have Gareth Bale in front of them, Real Madrid’s Champions League winner at the time. The name on the Ukrainian side is difficult to solve.
However, Ukraine is fortunate that, apart from Bell, there are not many stars who can shine at present.
Former Arsenal and Juventus player Aaron Ramsey is now in the final stages of his career at Rangers. Meanwhile, former Manchester United midfielder Daniel James almost had to be relegated in a Leeds shirt.
Therefore, Ukrainian fans can fully believe that their team will perform miracles at this time.
