Despite the first victory, the Ukraine national team is still in last place in the group. The main strength of the team is the offense. The forwards consistently score in every match. But the huge number of injuries greatly hinders the team to achieve positive results.
Victories over Ukraine and Albania allow the Czech National Team to feel relatively comfortable. They interrupted a series of failures that started back at the Euros. If on the first meeting with Sergei Rebrov’s team they looked unsure, then in the third round they showed almost perfect performance. It was also the first match in a long time when the Czech national team did not concede. Previously, they had failed to keep their gates intact in nine consecutive games. Even Malta and Armenia scored to Hasek’s wards, and in the first two rounds of the Nations League they managed to concede six goals.
