Coach Petrakov spoke from the heart in his post-match news conference. Around him, his compatriots celebrated wildly on an astonishing night for Ukraine as a football team, and a nation.

"Ukraine looked a really good outfit and they made us look pedestrian for most of the first half. "It was a brave and bold decision to play two up front which I don't think worked for us. We didn't play the way we wanted to play and unfortunately, it's past us by." I made the change at half-time but we didn't give ourselves the chance to utilise that change because we were 2-0 down very early in the second half. This victory was not for me or the players, it was for the country. We have to be honest, the best team on the night won. "Ukraine settled into the game a lot quicker than us and it kind of just continued. "First half I don't think we played enough, we didn't get the ball down. "The Wales game is going to be massive for us. "Everyone knows the situation in Ukraine and every game is like a final. "Scotland is a great team and have unbelievable players in each line.

Ukraine notch emotional win over Scotland to move one step away ... (The Independent)

Scotland 1-3 Ukraine: They will face Wales for a place at Qatar 2022 after Roman Yaremchuk, Andriy Yarmolenko and Artem Dovbyk scored at Hampden Park.

That is a phrase that sounds almost ridiculous given the character of these players in even giving an account of themselves for a game like this, but they feel more than anybody that they need to do this for their country. They were just a class above Steve Clarke’s side, repeatedly cutting them open with angled moves. It was a beautiful moment for a player who had been one of the sporting images of the country’s fate earlier this season on being reduced to tears when being cheered on as a substitute for Benfica.
