Yarmolenko beat Shevchenko in the number of matches for the national team of Ukraine

Yesterday's League of Nations match between the national teams of Ukraine and Scotland (0:0) became the 112th match for the Blue-Yellow midfielder Andriy Yarmolenko in the Ukrainian national team.

This allowed the 32-year-old winger to overtake Andriy Shevchenko in the list of record holders in the number of matches played for the Ukrainian national team and take second place in the list of the “guards” of the national team.

Ahead of Yarmolenko is only Anatoly Tymoshchuk, who played 144 matches for the main team of the country, but the last one, as you know, was officially deprived of all the titles and regalia that he achieved as a Ukrainian football player.
