🔥Goals everywhere! European play-off finals are set | OneFootball

The European playoff semifinals have been played, and the finalists for the last four spots at the next World Cup have now been decided.

The Azzurra will play it all against Wales

Without a doubt, the atmosphere in Bergamo was full of tension until the 56th minute, when Sandro Tonali broke the deadlock against Northern Ireland. From then on, Gattuso’s team controlled the lead, and Moise Kean scored the final 2-0 to put the match away.

In the United Kingdom, Bosnia pulled off the surprise in the penalty shootout, beating Wales, who will not be returning to the World Cup. The ageless Edin Dzeko scored the equalizer and then Nikola Vasilj saved the decisive penalty. 

Gyökeres will meet Lewandowski

Without a doubt, the standout player of these playoffs has been the Arsenal striker, who scored a hat-trick to help Sweden beat Ukraine comfortably and qualify for the finals.

Meanwhile, Poland had to suffer. Hoxha gave Albania the lead, but in the second half Lewandowski and Zielinski sparked the comeback and secured a place in the finals. A final of goalscorers.

Turkey will face the surprise package

In the first set of semifinals, Turkey were the main protagonists, beating Romania thanks to a goal from Ferdi Kadioglu.

Now they will have to face the big surprise of these playoffs, Kosovo, who knocked out Slovakia with a 4-2 win that featured several outstanding performances. Without a doubt, it’s a match that promises a lot.

Denmark will face the Czech Republic

The Danes cruised past North Macedonia. Brian Riemer’s side thrashed North Macedonia 4-0 with goals from Damsgaard, Isaksen x2, and Eriksen.

In Czechia, there was a crazy match. The home side went ahead, Ireland came back, and then it went to penalties, where Kovar shined and sent them into the finals.
