In addition to Italy and France, who automatically reached the quarter-finals of the Nations League, the following verdicts arrived on the scheduled fifth and penultimate match of the group stage of the tournament. First of all, England’s revenge, which destroyed Greece 3-0: Watkins – who replaced Kane who ended up on the bench -, Vlachodimos’ own goal and Curtis Jones’ pearl (in a state of grace between Liverpool and the national team). The Three Lions have thus rearranged their ranking and will only obtain promotion to League A of the Nations League by winning against the Republic of Ireland.
Austria and Norway, both triumphant today against Kazakhstan and Slovenia, are tied in the standings with 10 points for promotion to the higher league. Armenia falls to the Faroe Islands, 1-0 scored by Davidsen for the first overall victory in their group. North Macedonia finds their fourth success in a row against Latvia and consolidates their lead in the standings with 13 points.
