The match ended with a score of 0:2 in favor of the Croats.
As a result, Ukraine took only third place, while only the second position in the standings gave chances for play-offs. In the decisive match, the Ukrainian team only needed a victory.
It is noteworthy that Ukrainian politicians have repeatedly demanded that Russia be stripped of the right to host the World Cup, and the Ukrainian Football Federation even considered the possibility of voluntarily withdrawing from the World Cup if the Ukrainian team were to qualify.
