England has qualified for the European Football Championship in Germany. Bayern attacker Kane is almost unstoppable in the win against Italy. The Italians, on the other hand, now have to worry and fear the Ukrainians.
Thanks to star striker Harry Kane, England has secured a ticket to the European Football Championship in Germany. The team beat defending champions Italy 3-1 (1-1) on Tuesday evening, thereby completing qualification for the tournament next summer (June 14th to July 14th).
Bayern Munich attacker Kane (32nd minute/penalty kick and 77th) with a brace and Marcus Rashford (57th) scored the goals for the English team at Wembley Stadium. Gianluca Scamacca (15th) scored the opening goal for the Squadra Azzurra in front of 83,194 spectators.
The Italians fell back to third place in Group C and have to worry about their European Championship ticket. Italy has three points less than second-placed Ukraine, which won 3-1 (2-1) at bottom-placed Malta. However, Italy also played one game less. The first two teams qualify directly for the tournament in Germany. Italy and Ukraine will play against each other at the end of the European Championship qualification.
Hungary still has to be patient
Hungary missed early qualification with a 2-2 (0-2) draw in Lithuania. Fedor Cernych (20th) and Pijus Sirvys (36th) scored the goals for the hosts. Ex-Leipzig player Dominik Szoboszlai (67th) and Barnabas Varga (82nd) ensured the draw. With success, Hungary would have already secured its ticket to the European Championship. Nevertheless, the leaders of Group G are now virtually certain of taking part in the finals.
