While the Red Devils were facing Kazakhstan, other qualification meetings for the World Cup argued. Small overview of the results of the evening.
Beaten to everyone’s surprise in Slovakia for her first game, Germany was expected to be firmly firmly against Northern Ireland. Serge Gnabry made everyone breathe by opening the scoring after barely seven minutes.
But shortly after half an hour, Isaac Price showed the rheinenergiesstadion of Cologne by equalizing on a corner. From a very intelligent race to the second post, the former standard player was completely forgotten by the defense for his seventh goal in selection. Not bad for a 21 -year -old midfielder.

A recovery all the more memorable since it has long made Germany doubt. The Mannschaft had to wait until the last half hour to resume orders. Nadiem Amiri delivered everyone in the 69th by enjoying a bad outing of the Irish goalkeeper. Florian Wirtz then killed the meeting two minutes later on a free kick, 3-1 final score.

In the other game in the group, Anthony Moris lived a frustrating evening against the Slovaks. Luxembourg has indeed dominated the meeting (four shots on a frame, a goal canceled) to finally concede the only goal of the match in the 90th minute.

Less hassle for Spain. La Roja air conditioned Turkish hell by opening the scoring after barely six minutes via Pedri. Mikel Oyarzabal then assured the team a fairly quiet meeting series by planting a double in the first half. And that is just beginning: the Spanish then scored three goals in nine minutes in the second act to win 0-6.

The Netherlands have experienced much more difficulties in Lithuania. The Oranje nevertheless led 0-2 in the first half thanks to Memphis Depay (New top scorer in the history of the selection in front of Robin Van Persie) and Quinten Timber. But the locals scored two goals at the end of the first half to equalize. It was not until the last half hour to see Depay put the Netherlands back in control, which they will not let go this time (2-3).
