Midfielder of the Ukrainian national team Ivan Kalyuzhny commented on his team’s victory in the World Cup 2026 selection match against Iceland (2:0).

“Emotions after the match are positive. We gave all our strength on the field and now there is a little lack of emotion, but we are very happy. We prepared for this match and, hopefully, showed a good game and a result.

According to my feelings, whether the first half or the second, we played equally more as the number one, not on counterattacks. And so our game plan was only victory, because we needed only victory.

I will not say that it was easier for us in the first match in Iceland. Then there was more of an opponent with the ball. They were satisfied with a draw here, but it is more difficult to play for a draw,” VZBIRNA quotes Kalyuzhnyi as saying.

On Football.ua a video review of the match Ukraine — Iceland is available for viewing.
