The Ukrainian national team won with a score of England in the qualifying match of the 2010 World Cup, inflicting the first defeat in official games under the leadership of the Italian coach Fabio Capello.
The only ball in the 29th minute of the meeting in Dnepropetrovsk was scored by Sergey Nazarenko.
It should be noted that in the 14th minute, the goalkeeper Robert Green, who shot down the forward of Andrei Yarmolenko, was removed from the British for the “foul of the last hope”, who shot down the striker. However, Andrei Shevchenko from the penalty hit the gate rack.
Thus, the team of Alexei Mikhailichenko scored 18 points and reached second place in the sixth group, by one point bypassing the Croats.
On Wednesday, Ukrainians will play with Andorra, and the Croats are waiting for voyage to Kazakhstan.
It should be noted that the British, who won eight qualifying meetings in a row, prematurely won a ticket to South Africa in the sixth group.
The national team of Ukraine can become one of the rivals of the Russian national team in butt matches for a ticket to the 2010 World Cup.
