Ukraine kept alive their dream of reaching this year's FIFA World Cup by beating Scotland 3-1 in their playoff at Hampden Park in Glasgow on Wednesday in their first game since the Russian invasion of their country.
Ukraine will take on Wales on Sunday in Cardiff with the winner taking a place at November's finals in Qatar.
Goals from Andriy Yarmolenko and Roman Yaremchuk had put a spirited dominant Ukraine in control before Callum McGregor pulled a goal back for the Scots in the 79th minute.
However, substitute Artem Dovbyk finished off a counter-attack to secure a special victory for Ukraine in stoppage time.
It turned out to be a memorable night for Ukraine's footballers, whose domestic competition was halted after the invasion and the country's home-based players have not played competitive football since December.
The match was originally scheduled for March, but was postponed following the Russian invasion.
