Scotland suffered a 0–0 draw defeat in Ukraine to qualify for League A. The Eastern Europeans had better chances in the middle game, but then failed in the rows.
Strong Support: Craig Gordon.

Ukraine had to win against Scotland in order to be promoted to League A. However, the Eastern Europeans did not attack like hell, rather Ukraine played in a controlled manner and relied on their well-tried wing game.
Scotland acted more cautiously, being present in doubles and aiming mainly to keep zero. The usual passionate Bravehearts then succeeded, which was also due to the fact that Yermolenko gave up an early lead (8th) and Scottish goalkeeper Gordon scored against Dovbic (22nd), Mudri (49th) and Ignatenko (51st). Saved strong and kept to himself. Definitely the team.
Ukraine was running out of time, they were clearly reluctant to open the crowbar – and ended up empty handed.
