Ukraine 2-0 Iceland Highlights, FIFA World Cup 2026 European Qualifiers: UKR Claim Playoffs Spot; ISL Knocked Out

The match kicks off at 10:30pm IST. The Ukraine vs Iceland, FIFA World Cup 2026 European Qualifiers, Group D clash will be live streamed on the Sony LIV app and website in India. It will be telecast on the Sony Sports Network TV channels in the country.

In an extraordinary display in Porto, Portugal have demolished Armenia 8-1 to top Group F and march into next year's FIFA World Cup in style. Bruno Fernandes and Joao Neves score hat-tricks in an utterly dominant display from the Ronaldo-less Selecao.

This is how Ukraine line up for the must-win clash against Iceland:

We are underway in Poland. Iceland kicking from left to right and Ukraine in the opposite direction in the first half.

In Tirana, Albania are hosting England in both teams' last Group D World Cup qualifying match. The already-qualified Three Lions are perfect with seven straight wins so far, and eyeing an eight consecutive victory to close out their remarkable campaign. On the other hand, group runners-up Albania are guaranteed a playoff spot courtesy a slender 1-0 win over Andorra earlier.

At the Dubocica Stadium in Leskovac, Latvia are leading 1-0 against hosts Serbia in a concurrent Group K encounter. Latvia's WC campaign has already ended and they are playing for pride, while Serbia will finish third but can still qualify in theory.

After a couple of minutes of added time, the first half comes to an end with the scoreline still reading 0-0. Remember that Ukraine must win if they are to enter the playoffs, while a draw would do just fine for Iceland.

The lemon break ends and the second half begins. Ukraine kicking from left to right and Iceland the other way now.

Iceland midfielder Mikael Ellertsson barges into Ukraine winger Viktor Tsygankov in the 59th minute, which gives the hosts a free-kick opportunity. Nothing comes of it, however.

France are leading Azerbaijan 3-1 in a concurrent Group D World Cup qualifying fixture. France are already through to the World Cup and are set to finish on top of the group by a handsome margin.

Ukraine take the lead in the 83rd minute! Oleksii Hutsuliak heads a corner kick goalward, and Oleksandr Zubkov nods it in to put the Blue and Yellows in a great position to claim the playoffs spot. Can they hold on now?

Ukraine are into the playoffs! They seal the spot in style by adding a second goal, deep in stoppage time via Oleksii Hutsuliak. Iceland's campaign, on the other hand, ends in disappointment as they crash out of contention for the 2026 World Cup.
