England, Greece and Turkey are among the winners of the day in the Euro 2024 qualifiers. Armenia too.
England provides the essentials
On the beautiful lawn of the National Stadium of Malta (Ta’ Qali), the British only needed 8 minutes to make the difference thanks to the speed of Bukayo Saka, the unfortunate Ferdinando Apap scored the first goal of the game in his own net (8th). Alexander-Arnold with a nice strike (28th) and Harry Kane from the penalty spot (31st) finished the job to end the match in the first act. Upon returning from the locker room, the tension and intensity are clearly down. THE Three Lions ensured without forcing and without conceding the slightest strike. At the end of the game, Callum Wilson on penalty sealed the victory of his team (83rd). Without shining, the men of Gareth Southgate consolidated their first place in Group C with a third victory in three games.
In pain Denmark wins
They do good these three points for the Nordics. Without reassuring themselves in the game, the formation of Kasper Hjulmand provides the essentials at home against Northern Ireland. Deadlocked throughout the first half despite numerous strikes, Christian Eriksen’s teammates found the fault at the start of the second half thanks to Jonas Wind (47th). The Wolfsburg attacking midfielder took advantage of a recovery error from the Northern Irish defense to release his team. The end of the match almost turned into a nightmare for the semi-finalists of the last Euro. After ten minutes of hesitation, the VAR finally canceled Callum Marshall’s goal for an offside limit (96th). With this victory, Denmark is co-leader of a hotly contested Group H with Kazakhstan winner of San Marino (0-3), Finland and Slovenia. The Danes will have to confirm in three days on the lawn of the Slovenians.
Armenian madness
What a match on the lawn of Cardiff. There homeland of noah delivered a high-flying performance against Welsh players who were far too wait-and-see. As they raced in the lead thanks to Brennan Johnson’s fine initiative for ex-Man U winger Daniel James (10th), the Dragons took on water in the face of the collective assaults of the Armenians. Two superb goals from Zelarayan (19th) and Grant-Leon Ranos (30th) saw the men in white take the lead at half-time. The second act was even crazier. Patrakov’s men first took off thanks to a new goal from Grant-Leon Ranos (66th). But the experienced Wales returned to the match after a long touch causing a big mess concluded by Harry Wilson (72nd). Mentally, Lucas Zelarayan also scored his double (75th) to sink Robert Page’s players. In the standings, 3rd Wales made a bad move by letting Armenia come back to one point and on their way to spinning Turkey, the new leader with 6 points.
Greece follows the pace of France
Dominating in the first half, Gus Poyet’s players opened the scoring from the penalty spot through their captain and best player Anastasios Bakasetas (15th). Against the court of the game, Nathan Collins, unhappy against Maignan a few months ago, this time equalized for Ireland (27th). In the second half, with courage, the Greeks came back in front thanks to Giorgos Masouras (49th). In a tense end to the match, Ireland were reduced to 10 (Doherty 95th) and the 2004 European champions held firm behind. Before facing the Blues this Monday at the Stade de France, Greece confirmed their good start to the competition and consolidated their second place in Group B.
