Wales men’s football team secured a spot to play in the 2022 world cup tournament in Qatar for the first time in 64 years after beating Ukraine. A Yarmolenko own goal from Gareth Bale’s freekick in the 34th minute made the difference after 90 minutes.
Ukraine’s players gathered exceptional amount of courage to represent their country in the world cup playoffs even with majority of their team not playing competitive football in months due the ongoing war in their country.
Wales will now join England, USA and Iran in Group B ahead of the tournament in November.
Bale, who was mulling over retirement from international Football said he may postpone plans to retire to represent his country in Qatar. The player also described the victory as the greatest result in Welsh football history.
“We’re going to world cup. It means everything. We’ve been working towards it since I first came here. Words can’t describe how we feel at the moment,” said Bale.
