- 90'+6'That's all from a delighted Cardiff City Stadium, so thank you for joining us today and goodbye!
- 90'+6'Both sides must soon recover from this intense struggle for a place in Qatar, as they are required to fulfil their Nations League fixtures in the coming week: World Cup finalists Wales meet the Netherlands in midweek, while beaten Ukraine travel on to Dublin.
- 90'+6'Despite a determined display from their Ukrainian counterparts, who had the better chances and far more of the ball, Wales reach just their second-ever World Cup finals on a memorable day in Cardiff - they are heading to Qatar! Tears are shed by the beaten side in the driving rain, as all their attempts to find a way past Hennessey come to nothing, but a rousing reception from the away fans is certainly well earned. A day of contrasting emotions ends with the Dragons belatedly joining Group B, where they will face the USA on the tournament's opening day.
- 90'+6'FULL-TIME: WALES 1-0 UKRAINE
- 90'+6'Wilson makes a perfectly-timed sliding challenge on Shaparenko to the delight of the Welsh crowd, and there is surely no more time left!
- 90'+4'After Ampadu steals possession away from him in a chase for the ball, Mudryk barges his counterpart off the ball and receives a yellow card.
- 90'+3'To take up a few more seconds of stoppage time, Williams is taken off; Norrington-Davies comes on for a brief cameo on this potentially historic occasion.
- 90'+2'Ukraine have their hosts penned inside their own penalty area, but a series of crosses lack precision and then Yarmolenko shoots well over from the edge of the box.
- 90'There will be five additional minutes for Wales to withstand, as they claw their way closer to a first World Cup appearance since 1958.
- 88'An awful waste of an opportunity sees Sydorchuk swivel and shoot wildly over from 25 yards out, and that ball seems to still be rising as Hennessey takes the goal-kick to re-start play.
