The final scoreline between Scotland vs Ukraine was incredible and unbelievable, the Ukrainians defied all the prematch analysis by soccer analysts and pundits, who based their analysis on current form of each of the team, the Ukrainians has six of their team players inactive and not playing football for almost a year due to pausing of their league as the result of the current crisis between them and Russia, despite their inactivity in any League for a period of time still came out victorious, this is a highly commendable feat and wishing the team good luck as they Wales on Sunday for the final playoff match.
The Ukrainians showed a great character and heart for the game yesterday and that they are a really good team. In a few days they will play for promotion to the World Cup with the national team of Wales. I believe that if they play like against Scotland, they will have a good chance of being promoted.
on a good day, even wales can be beaten. ukraine proved yesterday that they can win away on the island in front of a full stadium.
with all the world events in and around ukraine, it brings the team and supporters even closer together, making this team even more unpredictable.
yesterday wales also lost 1-2 away to poland in the nations league and poland plays similar football like ukraine...

The truth is that I did not expect such an easy victory for Ukraine, I think nobody expected it.
We'll see how the match against Wales will play out. I wanted Scotland to win but it didn't happen.
Yes, given the fact that Scotland was actually favored by the bookmakers, it seemed like a walk in the park for Ukraine We'll see how the match against Wales will play out. I wanted Scotland to win but it didn't happen.
Wales will be a much harder opponent for Ukraine. The FIFA ranks are: Scotland 39, Ukraine 24 and Wales 18. I think the Wales vs Ukraine game could be the open games that everybody expected from Scotland!
Ukraine has been winning many events in the last time. Not only the ESC, now also the qualification and only one game is missing for the World Cup. So they won't win the World Cup, but they have won many things. If the last European World Cup ticket goes to Ukraine, I think that's good after the game today.
Ukraine brought a big mission in this match so win is the main target Luckily they can win
Only one more step Ukraine can realize their target the opportunity was still open
Never expected such a result from yesterday's match. Lost a few bucks betting for Scotland. Yesterday, it turned out to be a one sided match. The difference is that I was expecting one sided match in which Scotland would win, but the other side won in a lop-sided manner. Got the calculations completely wrong this time. Anyway, Ukraine needs to win one more match, in order to qualify for the world cup finals. And I am sure that Wales will turn out to be a stronger opponent when compared to Scotland.
I had my doubts about Ukraine's players, but they showed that they're here to advance as much as they can. It will be a very fun game to watch against Wales, but ultimately I think Ukraine will win.
And looking into the future, if Ukraine does win, they will be joining England, United States, and Iran in the group B. That's going to be a very political group!

Your expectation didn't met, so such dishearten execution from your side quite obvious. Ukraine winning 3-1 over Scotland, and I'm happy that they won. Anyway, I've some believe that the Scottish players unusually allowed them to score. I'm looking forward their next play-off match against Wales for making the spot at the World Cup. And Wales gonna destroy them.

Once again, we saw how the bookmakers' assessment was completely wrong - Ukraine won with a clear advantage. The final score fully reflected how the game went - now the pre-match scores look absurd, don't they? Now on June 5th we will find out who will go to the World Championship and I hope that Ukraine will be able to get another away victory.
Seeing the way they played against Scotland in this match I am still optimistic for them but the opponent they will face later is Wales who can indeed be an obstacle at this time.It will be difficult to predict but if you look at this game they will know what to do and they will obviously have to secure midfield and possession in this match.
The circus goes on. Ukraine has become good at football in recent decades and the rest of the CIS countries can only envy it. Probably a repeat of Eurovision today, when of course Ukraine won. Probably today the English have asked their Scottish friends not to show good football. Indeed, probably no one will be surprised if the Ukrainians win the World Cup.
My prediction in my previous post was that Scotland won the match against Ukraine. But in reality it was ukraine who won this match. honestly ukraine played quite well in this match and dominated the match from the first half to the second half. this match is an important point for ukraine because the country has just been in turmoil but the mentality of the ukraine players is not bad at all. On the other hand the Scottish defense is quite bad because Yarmolenko has been able to trouble the Scottish bottom line several times. 
The bookmakers have indeed misjudged the match beforehand. But that is also difficult, because they are national teams and they rarely play together. At a club it is much easier to link odds to it. I am surprised by the 1-3 result, I did not expect that. When it was 0-1 at halftime, I expected it to be 1-1, but it quickly became 0-2 and then it was actually played. This should give the players and people of Ukraine a special and great feeling. Ukraine to the World Cup and Russia not.

This was a great match to watch. 1-3 is a result that was not exactly the most obvious. Scotland tried but Ukraine seemed to have superpowers today. Perhaps the war has made them even stronger and all players pushed to their limits. They also have some dangerous players and good players like Zinchenko, who often plays for Man City. It is not a world team, but certainly a team that you should not underestimate. Nice for them that they can now go to the World Cup.
I preferred to watch the Argentina match, but I was surprised that Ukraine won by scoring three goals. Scotland looked like the better team on paper. When Yarmolenko and Yaremchuk scored early, they finished the job. After McGregor's goal Scotland were hopeful, but Dovbyk scored the third goal at the last minute. Congratulations to Ukraine. They will play a very difficult game against Wales. Both teams want to go to the World Cup.
Ukraine has been winning many events in the last time. Not only the ESC, now also the qualification and only one game is missing for the World Cup. So they won't win the World Cup, but they have won many things. If the last European World Cup ticket goes to Ukraine, I think that's good after the game today.
Ukraine were better team today and deserved to win. Scotland looked very disappointing, they let Ukraine to dominate 1st half. That goal scored bybScotland is more luck because of goalkeeper mistake, but left chance for Scotland and they managed to keep pressure until the end, but were far from making good chance for 2nd goal.
Scotland 0 - 1 Ukraine
Ball possession:
Ukraine = 58%
Scotland = 42%
Impressive display coming from Ukraine!Ball possession:
Ukraine = 58%
Scotland = 42%
I thought the current happenings back home will keep them distracted not to play well
but they have come out guns blazing to play some good football and let sport bring them together.
Just hope they get a world cup slot...

It is looking very good for Ukraine. They are ahead with one goal and the better team. Scotland will need to add a bit to their game if they want to keep a chance for qualification. Current odds for qualification are Scotland 3.6 and Ukraine 1.25. I think we'd rather see a 2-0 than a 1-1, but I don't expect more than 1 goal in the remaining 30 minutes. Ball possession:
Ukraine = 58%
Scotland = 42%
