Another day, same fifth round of the UEFA Nations League for the commitments scheduled in Leagues A, C and D. We start with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal, who literally swept away Zielisnki’s Poland – orphan of Lewandowski – and consolidated at the top of their own ranking, while the twist came from Croatia who lost 1-0 away to Scotland but remains three points ahead in the standings. Serbia’s golden point against Switzerland, to keep the quarter-final discussion alive. The Swiss, however, with a 1-1 result, fell into disgrace, relegated to the lower league.
Lots of confusion in Romania-Kosovo, a match abandoned by the Dardani in the 90th minute of the game due to racist behavior by Romanian ultras against themselves. Cyprus further rages against bottom-placed Lithuania, inflicting a 2-1. Scrolling through the list of national teams involved, Bulgaria found a way to score with Kraev in the first half, enough for the final triumph. Belarus settled with two goals from Northern Ireland, while San Marino earned a good draw against Gibraltar.
