Azerbaijan and Ukraine drew 1-1 in a UEFA World Cup qualification match on September 10, 2025. The result at the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium in Baku will be seen as two points dropped for Ukraine. Azerbaijan took a surprise lead in the first half, scoring from a set-piece against the run of play. Ukraine dominated possession and eventually found an equalizer in the second half through a close-range finish from their central striker. The visitors pushed hard for a winner but were repeatedly denied by the Azerbaijani goalkeeper, who was the standout performer. The draw is a valuable point for Azerbaijan, while Ukraine will be frustrated not to have turned their dominance into a victory.
