In Kyiv, soccer fans had the war-time night-time curfew and an air-raid alarm to contend with as they gathered to cheer on their national team to a 3-1 win over Scotland, furthering Ukraine's emotion-filled quest to qualify for the World Cup. The Beer & Meet bar in downtown Kyiv got around the curfew by offering fans the possibility to stay there until 5 am, when the night-time restriction on movement ends. The curfew kicked in at 11 pm, before the start of the second half of the pulsating playoff semi-final. (Jun. 01)
