Ukraine, who are playing their games in Poland due to Russia's
invasion of their country, were made to feel at home by their
supporters, many of whom are refugees, in the Polish city of
Rzeszow located about 100km from the Ukrainian border.
Ukraine, whose own World Cup qualifying hopes were ended in a
4-0 loss to Scotland on Friday, took the lead in the 27th minute
when defender Darya Kravets headed in from a corner.
Substitute Olga Ovdiychuk doubled their advantage with an
individual effort, sealing the result just before fulltime.
Hungary are third in Group B on nine points, four behind
second-placed Scotland with one game to play, guaranteeing the
Scots a place in the playoffs and ending Hungary's hopes of
finishing above them.
Spain, with 18 points, have already qualified for next year's
tournament as group winners.
