Haaland delivers Norway to Serbia, Georgia de Sagnol regales

Switzerland, quarter-finalists of Euro 2020, lost in the Czech Republic (2-1) while Erling Haaland’s Norway brought back three points from Serbia (1-0), Thursday during the first day of the League of Nations. In Group 2 of League A, where Spain and Portugal neutralized each other (1-1), the Helvetii, who fell France at the last Euro, equalized just before half-time through their promising winger Noah Okafor, who replied to Jan Kuchta. But an own goal from Djibril Sow in the second half saw the Czechs claim victory at the final whistle.

In Group 4 of League B, Sweden won in Slovenia (2-0). Emil Forsberg opened the scoring from a penalty and Dejan Kulusevski then sealed the Swedish success in Ljubljana.

In the other game of the group, Norway clinched a precious victory against Serbia. Facing the locals, qualified for the next World Cup where they will face Brazil, Switzerland and Cameroon, it was the inevitable Erling Haaland who scored the only goal of the match. The future 21-year-old Manchester City striker has thus signed his sixteenth achievement in eighteen selections.

This is the fifth victory in six games for Georgia, who took the opportunity to take the lead in Group 4 in League C ahead of Bulgaria and North Macedonia, back to back on Thursday (1-1).
