Poland tries again because Wales can only defend.
The team is no longer offensive.
As a result, there is another change.
David Brooks is now substituted again after being substituted in the second half.

The second penalty shootout in these European Championship playoffs is becoming more likely by the minute.

There are some indications of an extension.
There are four minutes of added time.
89th minute (UKR - ISL):
Iceland is now throwing everything forward - what else does the team have to do?
Ukraine changes again and now builds a bulwark in front of goalkeeper Lunin's box.
That makes it difficult for the Icelanders.
Ukraine is well on its way to the 2024 European Championship in Germany.
85th minute (UKR - ISL): Mudryk puts Ukraine on the road to victory. The national team superstar skillfully converted a flat cross to the center edge of the penalty area with a direct pass into the Icelandic goal. Sudakov submitted again. 2:1 for Ukraine.
82nd minute (WAL - POL):
Wales and Poland are in a bitter fight for the European Championship ticket.
In the tough game, the teams forget about scoring goals, similar to the game between Georgia and Greece earlier in the evening.
It only becomes dangerous because of standards.
79th minute (UKR - ISL):
It's been a long time since Thorrsteinsson scored the Icelandic goal, turning the ball from the left to the right of the goal.

Iceland is suddenly back!
76th minute (UKR - ISL):

Sudakov pulls the ball dangerously towards the goal.
Keeper Valdimarsson can deflect the ball.

64th minute (WAL - POL):
Poland increases the pressure and pushes Wales further and further back.
Only the last ball is too often unsuccessful.
Wales must be on their guard.
59th minute (WAL - POL):
Curious.
Szscesny runs out of his goal to clear a ball, but gets his foot off Wilson.
Moore then shoots from 50 meters to score into the empty goal, but doesn't shoot hard enough.
The Polish backers are able to clear, then the referee blows the whistle because the keeper is still lying down.
54th minute (UKR - ISL):
What an incredible equalizer by Ukraine!
A 40-meter ball from Sudakov finds Tsygankov, who sensitively receives the ball and takes it with him, then moves inside and circles it into the far corner - a great goal for the Ukrainians.
1:1.
50th minute (WAL - POL):
Once again it becomes dangerous due to a stationary ball.
Moore heads a free-kick cross very well into the right crease, but the experienced keeper Szczesny goes long and directs the ball over his goal - luck for Poland.
49th minute (UKR - ISL):
The first goal of the second half belongs to Ukraine, who cause danger after a corner.
The team is challenged.
46th minute:
The games have started again.
Live ticker European Championship playoffs: Iceland leads against Ukraine at halftime
Halftime:
Both games are at halftime.
While Wales and Poland are engaged in an intense fight with few chances to score, there is a lot more going on in Wroclaw in the game between Ukraine and Iceland.

Wales can just about clarify.
30th minute (UKR - ISL): Goal for Iceland.

The ball lands half-high in the right corner. Fourth international match within a week for Albert Gudmundsson.
27th minute (UKR - ISL):
Ukraine has significantly more share of the game.
With 66 percent possession of the ball, the Eastern Europeans dominate and press high and intensively.
Iceland has problems with this and loses the ball quickly.
23rd minute (WAL - POL):
Wales is dangerous from set pieces.
On the other hand, Poland seems a bit safer in the game.
The matter is still balanced.

The southern Europeans try with short variations.
But this attempt also remains unsuccessful.
Goal kick Georgia.
15. Minute: Die Spieler gehen schon jetzt in jedem Zweikampf ans Limit. Nun muss Griechenlands wichtiger Innenverteidiger Mavropanos behandelt werden. Das dürfte nicht die letzte Unterbrechung dieser Art gewesen sein. Der Vertediger kann indes weitermachen.

Wir begleiten die entscheidenden Partien im Live-Ticker.
EM-Playoffs Live-Ticker: Georgien will gegen Griechenland Historisches schaffen
Schon um 18 Uhr empfängt Georgien in Tiflis den Europameister von 2004 aus Griechenland. In der letzten Woche setzten sich die Nationen problemlos gegen Luxemburg (2:0) respektive Kasachstan (5:0) durch. Jetzt soll auch der letzte Schritt gegangen werden. Für Georgien wäre es die erste Teilnahme an einer EM-Endrunde in der Fußballgeschichte.
Der langjährige französische Profi vom FC Bayern München, Willy Sagnol ist seit 2021 Nationaltrainer des Außenseiters. Auf der Pressekonferenz vor dem vielleicht wichtigsten Duell des georgischen Fußballs fordert der 47-Jährige seine Spieler: „Um solche Spiele zu gewinnen, braucht man eine Siegermentalität. Nur zu träumen reicht nicht aus.“ Für dieses große Ziel kehrt nun auch Superstar Khvicha Kvaratskhelia nach seiner Gelbsperre rechtzeitig zurück. Dennoch ist Griechenland, die keines der bisherigen sieben Aufeinandertreffen mit Georgien verloren haben, der Favorit.

EM-Playoff-Live-Ticker: Ungeschlagenen Polen gegen Wales mit viel Rückenwind
Later, Ukraine awaits Iceland in Wroclaw, Poland.
Coach Sergiy Rebrov's team doesn't want to make the same mistake they made around two years ago.
In the playoffs for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Ukraine failed shortly before the big goal with a free kick from Gareth Bale, who shot Wales to the World Cup.
It would be the fourth European Championship participation for the football-loving country.
In Cardiff, Ukraine-Schreck Wales will host the experienced Poles in the third playoff match.
With six wins in a row against the Welsh and the 5-1 win in the semi-finals of the playoffs against Estonia, the Poles are going into the last encounter with a big chest.
Coach Michal Probierz, who has been training the Eastern Europeans since September, is still unbeaten and sums up the right approach well: “Finals and playoff games are not played, but won.”
