Haaland, unlike his teammates on the occasion of the victory in the Champions League, is a model of attitude towards the regime and a fan of a healthy lifestyle. So, Erling entered the most important game in the starting lineup, but there was nothing more to say for a long time. Until the end of the first half, when the best sniper of the Premier League had a chance to rush to the gate from the center of the field, and Hendry, who had filled him on the lawn, got off with a yellow card.

The only chance for the Scandinavians in 45 minutes was Serlot’s head kick exactly in the hands of the goalkeeper. Norway suffered for an hour – until Haaland was hooked in the penalty area and he himself carried out the sentence. Just to say that the hosts played enough for this goal is difficult. They scored almost out of the blue and also conceded out of the blue. A shocked Haaland watched from the bench as Estigor actually gave the goal to Dykes.

The Norwegians stood in a stupor, and all the same Dykes laid the ball to McLean, who had punched under the far post. As the Spaniards prepared for the Nations League final, Scotland emerged as the sole leader with three wins in three rounds. The Norwegians have only one point, and this is a real disaster. And another reason to talk again about the fact that the Scandinavians cannot realize their potential even with Haaland and Odegaard, as well as players from Napoli, Roma, Benfica, Borussia Dortmund and Real Sociedad.

The second match of the day in this group presented a special confrontation – the former player and head coach of the Georgian national team Temuri Ketsbaia against the main team of his native country. In such cases, it is customary to talk about the emotional component, which to some extent was transferred to the game and provoked wild mistakes. In the case of the first goal, Gogich gave almost a bullet to Mikautadze with an adventurous pass through the center. Yes, and the Cypriot penalty, which Mamardashvili almost repelled, turned out to be completely optional.

When, at the beginning of the second half, Kvaratskhelia fired close to the post, it might have seemed that Georgia would take its toll without much effort. But instead, moments began to emerge at the gates of the guests. The crossbar saved them twice. Once again – the goalkeeper, and it shook Willy Sagnol’s team great. She took the initiative into her own hands, and put the squeeze on the hosts when the former Rubin player Davitashvili hit the far corner with a turn.

Interestingly, both the author of the winning goal and Lobzhanidze, who assisted him, came on as a substitute. Also, Dynamo Moscow player Gagnidze appeared on the field for a key segment. Georgia came in second, leaving behind Spain, which it will host in September. But for now, Hvicha and his teammates will be tested by Scotland.

In the confrontation between Domenico Tedesco and Ralf Rangnick, inexplicable things periodically happened on the field. For example, Lukebakio, who is turning into a new star of Belgium, passed through the line of defenders with surprising ease, but did not do the simplest thing – he missed the target. In turn, the “Red Devils” conceded a stupid goal. Courtois, after Gregoric’s warm-up kick, was preparing to calmly pick up the ball, but Mangala, who was in front of the goalkeeper, for some reason put his foot up and abruptly changed the trajectory of the kick.

After the break, Lukaku undertook to save the hosts, who began to find himself again just in the national team after the arrival of the new coaching staff. A hat-trick against Sweden, a goal in a friendly against Germany, now another success. Lukaku landed two long-range shots in a row, and the second ended with a hit in the bottom corner. Romelu certainly did not want to spoil the evening for Hazard, who was honored during the break on the occasion of farewell to the national team.

However, the Belgians lost their first points at Tedesco, as the crossbar saved the guests’ gates in stoppage time by the referee. This result is quite satisfied with Austria, which retained its leadership. So Alaba received a great gift on the occasion of the 100th match for the national team.
