The Dutch national team snatched victory in a key match with the Greeks in the fight for a ticket to Euro 2024. The guests, who desperately needed victory, created more tension at the opponent’s goal. But they were able to score only in stoppage time. The penalty was converted by Virgil van Dijk. Thanks to this victory, the Netherlands team caught up with the Greeks in the standings and has one match in hand.
In Group F, another participant in the Euro 2024 final tournament has become known. This was the Austrian team, which, thanks to the victory in Baku, became unattainable for the Swedes. The only goal in this match was scored by Marcel Sabitzer, who scored a penalty early in the second half.
Another meeting in this group had a tragic background. During the break of the Belgium-Sweden match, it became known that a terrorist shot two Swedish fans in the center of Brussels. Later, his video message appeared in which he introduced himself as a member of ISIS and stated that he was taking revenge for Muslims. The players refused to take the field after the break, and the match was not completed. And security issues are again coming to the fore. And not only in football.
In Group J, the Slovak team won a very important victory, beating their main competitor, the Luxembourg team, away. Here, too, everything was decided by a single goal, which allowed the Slovaks to break away from their pursuers by five points. This does not yet guarantee the Slovakian national team a ticket to Euro 2024, but in the remaining two matches the team only needs to score one point.
And, of course, we will not ignore the match between Bosnia and Portugal, in which the guests simply destroyed their opponent in the first half. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a double and now has 127 goals for the Portuguese national team.
This was another day of the Euro 2024 qualifying tournament. Victories and tragedies. And not just on the football field. Stay safe and support us by liking this video and subscribing to terrikon.com on Youtube.
