Kane again: England group winners
England had already sealed their place in EURO 2024 ahead of their penultimate qualifier against Malta, which Harry Kane and Co comfortably won 2-0. It wasn't the most exciting game for the spectators at Wembley, as the Three Lions took no risks and never looked in danger after Pepe bundled Phil Foden's cross into his own net after just eight minutes. In the second half, it was inevitably captain Kane who continued his red-hot streak and sealed the win, finishing off a fine attack involving Foden and Bukayo Sako in the 75th minute. The Bayern striker played the full match. England travel to North Macedonia on Monday on the final matchday.
Tel's U21s lose in Austria
Mathys Tel and the French U21 side suffered their first defeat in their fourth qualification match for EURO 2025, going down 2-0 away to Austria on Friday evening. Paul-Friedrich Koller (25', 75') was responsible for both goals in front of 2,655 spectators. Tel was brought on after 64 minutes in Ried but couldn't prevent the defeat.
Krätzig and Pavlović celebrate last-minute win
Germany U20 claimed a 1-0 win over Romania in Sibiu on Friday. Bayern defender Frans Krätzig was named in the starting line-up, while teammate Aleksandar Pavlović made his debut on 70 minutes.
