the essentials in brief
Portugal is still without any points in the European Championship qualification. The team around superstar Ronaldo won 1-0 against Slovakia. Scotland also has the maximum points after five games.
Scotland remains without a point in the European Championship qualification. The Scots won 3-0 against bottom team Cyprus and are at the top of Group A after five match days.
After half an hour, Steve Clarke’s team had already defeated Joël Mall three times in the Cypriot goal. After that, Servette’s goalie no longer had to be defeated, but the southern Europeans were never in the situation of turning the game in Larnaca around. This means Scotland is well on its way to taking part in a European Championship for the second time in a row and the fourth time overall.

The Scots’ first pursuers are the Spaniards, who celebrated an impressive 7-1 win against Georgia. Alvaro Morata scored three times for the Iberians.
There was also a clear victory for the Croatians, who won 5-0 against Latvia, who still had no points. The Nations League finalists moved past Armenia, which narrowly missed out on a surprising victory in Turkey. Only in the 88th minute did Bertug Yildirim equalize for German coach Stefan Kuntz’s team, which remains at the top of Group D, three points ahead of Croatia and Armenia.
In Group J, Luxembourg continues to surprise. The dwarf state won 3-1 against Iceland and has thus caught up with Slovakia in second place. The Slovaks lost the top battle at home against Portugal 0-1. Thanks to Bruno Fernandes’ goal, the Portuguese are now five points ahead.
