Continuation and end of the Euro 2024 qualifiers this Tuesday, including Croatia’s decisive victory against Armenia in Group D.
There it’s finished. The last seven matches of the Euro 2024 qualifiers took place this Tuesday across the four corners of Europe. In group B, the suspense had been over for a while. Held in check in Greece (2-2), the Blues finished on top, ahead of the Netherlands, who disposed of Gibraltar (0-6) including a hat-trick from former Nice player Calvin Stengs. Note that Greece will compete in the play-offs next March. Which play-offs will make it possible to find out the last three qualified for the European Championship, from June 14 to July 14, 2024. The draw will be made on December 2 in Hamburg. France will be among the top seeds.
No suspense either in Group I, Romania and Switzerland having registered their presence at the Euro before this final day. The two teams competed in Bucharest for first place. And it was the Romanians who had the last word with their 1-0 victory over the Nati. Denis Alibec scored the winning goal. Future participants in the play-offs, the Israelis beat Andorra (0-2) and Belarus tamed Kosovo (0-1).

Wales in play-offs
But the big hot spot of the evening was in group D, between Zagreb and Cardiff. Before the match, Turkey was alone in the lead and already assured of its qualification. There was one ticket left to distribute between Croatia and Wales. Luka Modric and his teammates had the upper hand in this remote duel: in the event of a victory against Armenia, they were qualified for the Euro, without worrying about the result of Wales-Turkey. And that’s what they did. Served by Borna Sosa, Ante Budimir shook the net in the 47th. A goal that is worth a lot for the 2018 world vice-champions (1-0 victory). That of Neco Williams for Wales changed nothing… Especially since a penalty from Lille’s Yusuf Yazici finally allowed Turkey to equalize and snatch a draw (1-1). Croatia finishes at the top of the group.
