The Belgians failed to avoid defeat on their own field, although up to the 83rd minute of the meeting on the scoreboard was a draw 1: 1.

“Efficiency was decisive. We had the best chances. They have a good victory despite the chances of us. Now we need to score two goals. But if they do it quickly, as they did yesterday, anything can happen,” Gayen’s UEFA official website quotes.

The match in Birmingham will take place next Wednesday, March 12, starting at 22:00 in Kiev.
