Full Time Scores


It's been quite some time since England last surrendered a goal, with Tuchel no doubt left frustrated after the Three Lions were unable to turn dominance into a friendly win in the capital.


Looking back on Florian Wirtz's timeline of goal contributions tonight in Basel.

You cannot help but wonder what's to come at Anfield as he continues to settle at Liverpool.


FULL TIME

Spain make light work of Serbia in front of home support in Villarreal, anchored by a brace from Mikel Oyarzabal.


FULL TIME

A late close-range finish from Ben White was cancelled out by a converted penalty in stoppage time by who else but Federico Valverde, as Tuchel's Three Lions are denied at the death at Wembley.


URUGUAY LEVEL LATE ON!

In the final minute of stoppage time, it's Fede Valverde who converts from the spot after White goes from hero to villain, after VAR ruled that the Arsenal full-back fouled Federico Viñas in the box.


FULL TIME

Pure inspiration from Florian Wirtz tonight with contributions across all four goals, pushing Germany over the line in a 4-3 win against Switzerland, their first over Nati since 2008.


FULL TIME


ENGLAND FINALLY LEAD!!

Arsenal's Ben White breaks the deadlock on what was England's sixth corner of the night, with White tapping home at the backpost to break the deadlock!

His first international goal, and what a time for it!


VÍCTOR MUÑOZ ON HIS DEBUT!

It's 3-0 Spain now, with the Osasuna winger bagging a first for his country just minutes after making his debut appearance off the bench!


WIRTZ AGAIN!!

A brace of assists and then a brace of goals on the night for the Germany star, with Nagelsmann's Die Mannschaft now back in control to the tune of a 4-3 scoreline with just five minutes plus stoppage left to play!


Four additional changes by Tuchel as England head into the final quarter-hour of play.


RESISTANCE IS NOT FUTILE!

Switzerland make it 3-3!

The goal fest in Basel continues, with BSCYB standout Joël Monteiro levelling the scoreline in the 79th minute!


Spain make a double change, with Víctor Muñoz making his La Roja debut.


And it's the moment many in the German football sphere have been waiting for - a national team debut for Lennart Karl.

He's replaced Leroy Sané.


WIRTZ IS HAVING HIMSELF A NIGHT!

The gifted Reds midfielder gets on the scoresheet to lift Germany into the lead, adding to his brace of assists before the break!


England are back underway against Uruguay, with Adam Wharton coming on to replace Jordan Henderson just before the restart.


REIJNDERS STRIKES FOR ORANJE!!

The Netherlands have taken their first lead of the night and have Man City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders to thank, with a rifled finish into the top corner to make it 2-1 at Johan Cruyff Arena!


LA ROJA DOUBLE THEIR LEAD!!

It's 2-0 at Estadio de la Cerámica thanks to a completed brace by Oyarzabal just before the halftime interval.

That's 16 goal involvements for the Real Sociedad man in his last 10 appearances for Spain.


HALF-TIME

A flurry of goals across all four big international friendlies this evening.

England-Uruguay remain locked at 0-0, with both sides forced into changes due to injury.

There's been plenty of goal action in Basel between Switzerland and Germany, with the pair heading into the halftime team talk level at 2-2.

A header from Virgil van Dijk cancelled out Norway's opener, with the scoreline sitting at 1-1 in Amsterdam.


GERMANY LEVEL AGAIN!

This time it's Serge Gnabry who finds the back of the net to make it 2-2 away from home for Julian Nagelsmann's troops, with Wirtz now on a brace of assists this evening.


NATI BACK IN THE LEAD!

World Cup dark horse Switzerland are back ahead just before the break, with Breel Embolo heading home from close range in the 41st minute.


It'll be a change for England now, with Arsenal's Noni Madueke coming off for Jarrdon Bowen.

Yet another key injury for some big clubs across Europe during the international break.


ORANJE STRIKE BACK!

The Netherlands did not wait long to level matters on home soil, with Virgil van Dijk coming up in a key moment for Oranje, dispatching a thumping header beyond Ørjan Nyland!


OYARZABAL CAN'T STOP SCORING

The Real Sociedad midfielder-come-striker continues his rich vein of form in front of goal for La Roja, opening the scoring in Villarreal with a rifled finish past Vanja Milinković-Savić!


DIE MANNSCHAFT PULL LEVEL!!

Jonathan Tah rises highest to head home past Gregor Kobel to restore parity at St. Jakob-Park!

Florian Wirtz's in-swinging cross after Germany plays a short corner allows for one-two combination play before the Liverpool man finds the head of Tah at the back post.


GOAL!!

And now it's budding neutral fan-favourite Norway who get in on the goals this evening, with Benfica starlet Andreas Schjelderup bagging his first international goal to break the deadlock against Oranje!
