England’s footballers advanced to the European Championship for the fourth time in a row. Coach Gareth Southgate’s men secured a start at the final tournament thanks to a 3-1 home win over Italy in a replay of last year’s Euro final. Nine of the 24 participants are already familiar with the European Championship.
England were losing at Wembley in London, where they lost to Italy on penalties in the final of the last European Championship, after a quarter of an hour of the game, when Scamacca scored. In less than 20 minutes, Kane responded from the penalty spot, England’s all-time best scorer rounded off the number of international goals to 60. Rashford completed the conversion after the change of sides, and Bayern Munich striker Kane added the insurance again.
England joined Belgium, France, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Turkey, Austria and hosts Germany at the Euros. The final tournament will take place next year from June 14 to July 14.
The reigning European champions, the Italians, have complicated their journey to the Euros due to a loss in England. They lose three points from third place to Ukraine, who won 3:1 in Malta. However, the team from the Apennine Peninsula played one less game.
The Hungarians could have secured their place at the European Championships today with a win in Lithuania, but they only drew 2:2 on the field of an outsider. The home team even led by two goals after the opening act, but the guests won at least a point after the change of sides. He first brought down Szoboszlai from the penalty spot and then leveled Varga.
Hungary leads Group G by a point ahead of Serbia, who defeated Montenegro 3:1 at home. Mitrovič decided the Balkan duel with two hits. Montenegro already has a six-point deficit on the leading Hungarians, but is still in the game for promotion.
Thanks to a 1:0 victory in Northern Ireland, Slovenia remained on the first rung of the “hook”. Čerin scored the only goal in the fifth minute, the home team played in a weakened state from the 58th minute.
The Danes also have the same points (19) as the Slovenians after a 2:1 victory in San Marino. The favorite unexpectedly struggled for the mandatory win, the 1:1 tie was broken only in the 70th minute by substitute Poulsen.
Four points behind the leading pair is Kazakhstan, who won 2:1 after a turnaround in Finland. Zajnutdinov scored both of the guests’ goals in the final quarter of an hour, the first coming from the penalty spot.
Laci contributed with a goal to the victory of the football players of Albania
Sparta Prague midfielder Qazim Laci contributed a goal to Albania’s 2-0 victory in the friendly match against Bulgaria. Opponent Czech Republic did not lose for the sixth time in a row and won for the fifth time in qualifying for the European Championship.
Twenty-seven-year-old midfielder Laci opened the scoring before the end of the first half with his second goal in a national team jersey, Ernest Muci added the insurance after the change of sides. Former Spartan striker Martin Minčev started for the guests.
Brazilian coach Sylvinho’s men followed up Thursday’s 3-0 triumph over the Czech team in Tirana. Albania leads the “Czech group” by two points ahead of the choice of coach Jaroslav Šilhavý and is close to a second participation in the Euro, where they have only started in 2016. They will finish the qualification in November against Moldova and the Faroe Islands.
The duel between two sure participants in the European championship next year between France and Scotland got off to a better start for the visitors, who were put in the lead by Gilmour in the 11th minute. However, stopper Pavard turned the score around between the 16th and 24th minutes, and the gunner Mbappé secured the lead of the favorite until the end of the first half. The final result was determined by substitute Coman in the 70th minute.
