At the same time, the “blue-yellows” continue to claim the second position to get into the playoffs for the right to move up a class. To do this, Ukraine needs to defeat Albania and for the Czech Republic not to lose to Georgia in the parallel match. A defeat by the Albanians will definitely mean relegation to Division C for our team.
It was previously reported that Rebrov began the press conference before the game with Albania by making a statement about the mass shelling of Ukrainian cities by Russian occupiers.
