Today, we have once again experienced the action of the European Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, and we bring you the star, the surprise, and the disappointment of the day.
Croatia won again and seems to have no rival in Group L. Four victories in four games played and they already have half a ticket to the World Cup.
Jakic was the one who opened the scoring in the first half, and in the second, Kramaric, Kuc, against and Perisic sealed the victory.
Without a doubt, Group B made up of Switzerland, Sweden, Slovenia, and Kosovo is one of the most contested.
However, nobody expected to see Kosovo in second place. Today they beat Sweden, one of the favorites, with goals from Muriqi and Rexhbecaj and dream of traveling to the United States.
The Azzurri beat Israel in a result little expected by their fans. They suffered the match until the last minute. They started losing. They equalized. They lost the advantage again. They turned it around. When it seemed to end with Raspadori's 2-4 at 81', at 89' they were equalized.
And in the added time. Tonali appeared as a savior two minutes later to give them the three points and prevent serious complications. Gatusso's team continues to satisfy no one.
