The air of Saudi Arabia seems to have given CR7 a breath of fresh air. The 38-year-old star scored a double in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Cristiano Ronaldo first scored 1-0 from the penalty spot in the 5th minute, before doubling the lead with a clever flick, after a well-measured pass from Joao Felix (20th). These are his 126th and 127th goals in the national jersey. A record, obviously.
Bruno Fernandes increased the score 5 minutes later and Joao Cancelo (32nd), then Joao Felix, again, added to the bill (41st) even before the break. The Portuguese won their 8 matches on the road to the European Championship in Germany. They scored 32 times and only conceded 2 successes. In this group J, Slovakia placed itself for qualification by snatching three points from Luxembourg (0-1).
Victorious over Azerbaijan this Monday early evening (0-1), Austria is the 8th team to obtain their ticket for Euro 2024 in Germany. In Baku, Ralf Rangnick’s men made the difference in the second period thanks to a penalty goal from Marcel Sabitzer (48th), who came on at half-time.
Farewell, Austrians!

With 16 points in 7 matches, the Austrians can no longer be caught by Sweden. Third, the Scandinavians only have 6 units in 5 matches in this group F dominated by Belgium. This is Austria’s fourth participation in a Euro finals. In 2021, it lost in the round of 16 against Italy (1-2 after extra time), the future winner of the competition.
In Athens, at the end of a match that they had no right to lose, the Dutch had all the difficulty in the world to get rid of the Greeks (0-1). Wout Weghorst had missed a penalty in the first half and it took another 11-meter shot, signed by Virgil van Dijk in the 93rd, for the Oranje to take an important step towards the Euro. They will have to validate their ticket in November against Ireland then Gibraltar, in this group B largely dominated by France.
