How laborious it was! In a more than favorable waiver to snatch 1st place after Sweden’s misstep in Georgia (2-0), spain accomplished its mission, without convincing, by coming to an end with difficulty Greece (0-1).
Dominant in the game (as often) but without ideas for creation or percussion, the Spaniards owed their salvation only to a penalty, more than questionable, converted by Pablo Sarabia just before half an hour. For the rest, the neutral spectator had almost nothing to eat, La Roja contenting himself to manage his subject against a Hellenic team far from being beautiful. Spain (16 points) has one more unit than the Swedish rival before a duel … between the two teams.
Portugal without ideas but almost qualified
Without ideas, the Portugal was also in Ireland (0-0). Unable to create danger, the Lusitanians even suffered, jostled in sequence by valiant Irishmen. In the end, no goal came to punctuate this meeting without history. Only Pepe’s red card (one more) allowed the spectator to come out of his torpor after an evening … without much thrill.
The main thing is probably elsewhere for Portugal since Cristiano Ronaldo and company take advantage of this white draw to overtake Serbia and find themselves in favorable waivers for Qatar. A division … against the Serbs on Sunday, will allow the Seleçao to qualify. A final in this group therefore.
Germany leaves Liechtenstein no chance
For their part, the Russians took some time (1-0 at half-time) but finally took place in the 2nd half to correct Cyprus (6-0) while Germany, already qualified, easily slapped the Liechstenstein, too quickly reduced to 10 for a mind-blowing and clumsy foul in the area (9-0).
In the shadow of the Mannschaft, the North Macedonia, small thumb of the last Euro, took an option to participate in the dams by atomizing armenia 5-0.
