Ukraine's midfielder Oleksiy Hutsulyak shared his emotions about the 2-1 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
"The match was difficult, and it is always difficult to enter such a game, but I can't say that I was too worried. It's good that the result is still in our favour. Initially, the hosts built a strong defensive line, but when I came on the pitch, I think they were already a bit tired. It became easier in attack, and we took advantage of it. I started at my position on the right and then moved to the centre. Rebrov's set-up was simple - to win the match. I succeeded in some things, but I think I still helped the team. It was good that we scored two quick goals," said Oleksiy Hutsulyak.
It will be recalled that the final play-off match of the Euro 2024 qualifiers between Ukraine and Iceland will take place on 26 March at the Tarczynski Arena Wrocław stadium in Wrocław, Poland, and will start at 20:45 local time (21:45 in Kyiv).
