Historic milestone for Andriy Yarmolenko: 100 matches with the Ukraine national team

The qualifying match of the 2022 World Cup against Kazakhstan (2:2) was a milestone for Ukraine's attacking half-back Andriy Yarmolenko, marking his 100th appearance for the national team.

Yarmolenko is now the fourth player to reach this prestigious landmark: Anatoliy Tymoshchuk has 144 appearances for the blue-and-yellow, Andriy Shevchenko — 111, and Ruslan Rotan — 100.

However, it should be noted that Yarmolenko's record includes a friendly match between Ukraine and Malta held in Austria on June 6, 2017, which was unofficially recognized by FIFA due to exceeding the six-substitution limit set by the Laws of the Game (Ukraine made ten substitutions, while Malta made nine).
