WC Qualification: Wales - Croatians left behind by history-making Icelanders (VIDEO)

On Monday evening, the last nine 2018 World Cup qualifying matches were played in the Old Continent.

Dramatic events unfolded in Group D, where Wales, who had been in second place so far, failed to secure at least a play-off spot in the fight for qualification for the next World Cup in front of their spectators

In these matches, Ireland was satisfied only with victory. Wales was sent to the knockout stages in the 57th minute, when James McClean scored a goal for them.

The end of the match was very "hot", but Wales failed to save themselves, so Gareth Bale, who is currently recovering from injury, will not be able to be seen at the World Cup.

In this group, Serbia remained in first place after defeating Georgia. Ireland remained in second place and will continue the fight in the play-off.

In Group I, Croatia will also have to fight for a ticket, as they remained in second place after defeating Ukraine. Iceland convincingly defeated Kosovo and remained in first place.

In Group G, Spain, who had already secured a ticket to Russia, narrowly defeated Israel, while Italy defeated Albania.
