Ukraine goes to the European Championship and spoils Ronaldo's anniversary

2019-10-14T22:29:23.925Z


700 goals have to be scored once. Cristiano Ronaldo had no reason to celebrate despite his anniversary in Ukraine. Unlike former world-class striker Andrei Shevchenko.



With the sixth victory in the seventh group match Ukraine has qualified for the European Football Championship. National coach Andrei Shevchenko's team won 2-1 (2-0) against European champions Portugal in Kiev and can no longer beat the table with 19 points.

The Portuguese still have to worry about qualifying with eleven points. Cristiano Ronaldo scored with a converted hand penalty (72. Minute) the 700th goal of his professional career. An anniversary that went down a bit because Roman Jaremtschuk had previously met for the lead for Ukraine (6) and the former Dortmund Andrej Yarmolenko (27) scored the interim 2-0.

Portugal can not afford another slip-up in qualifying Group B. Although the Portuguese are still second, but only one point ahead of the Serb, who won against Lithuania 2: 1. While Portugal have seemingly easy opponents in the remaining two games against Lithuania and Luxembourg, Serbia are still playing against Ukraine.
