Ukraine defeated Portugal 2-1 on October 14 at the Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex in Kyiv to clinch a spot at Euro 2020 despite Christiano Ronaldo scoring his 700th career goal.
Roman Yaremchuk and Andriy Yarmolenko had Ukraine up 2-0 after only 27 minutes. In the 72nd minute Ronaldo notched his landmark goal from the penalty area after Taras Stepanenko was sent off, but Ukraine held on to secure first place in Group B.
Thus, Ukraine joined Poland, Russia, Italy and Belgium in next summer’s finals.
