There was another full slate of international friendlies this evening as the teams continue prepare for a busy summer of major tournaments. Here is what happened around the grounds!
Scorers: Pérez 24′, Oyarzabal 53′, 66′, 73′, Torres 81′
It was a day of unlikely scorers for the home side, as the hosts snatched an early lead through Ayoze Pérez.
Their scoring wouldn’t stop there, however. After coming on in the second half for a cameo of his own, Mikel Oyarzabal bagged three goals in 20 minutes to see Spain run away with the lead and never look back.
A late Ferran Torres tally capped off the dominant victory, and Luis de la Fuente’s men will not turn their attention to a showdown with Northern Ireland this weekend.
Scorers: Kolo Muani 43′, Clauss 70′, Mbappé 85′
A Kylian Mbappé-lead France comfortably downed Luxembourg in a friendly as they prepare for the European Championships this summer.
A late first-half tally from Randal Kolo-Muani would be all France needed in the end, but they doubled their lead after the break thanks to Jonathan Clauss from a corner-kick.
Kylian Mbappé assisted both goals and snatched a late one of his own as he begins his tenure as a Real Madrid player, but Los Blancos faithful will have to wait through the summer to see him.
Next up for France is another friendly, this time against Canada.
Scorers: De Bruyne 44′, Trossard 90+4′ (P)
Belgium eased past Montenegro at home thanks to a first-half goal from skipper Kevin De Bruyne.
It was one-way traffic from the very start, as Belgium dominated the ball and peppered the Montenegro goal with shots.
The breakthrough finally came when Kevin De Bruyne marked his 100th Belgium appearance by pouncing on a loose ball and catching the goalkeeper off of his line to fire home.
The visitors managed just two shots on target in an effort rescue a draw, but the Red Devils rearguard found little issue in keeping them out.
A late Miloš Brnović ensured Montenegro had any chance at a turnaround in the dying minutes. Leandro Trossard took advantage and converted from the spot to double Belgium’s lead at the death.
Slovakia 4-0 San Marino
Denmark 2-1 Sweden
Norway 3-0 Kosovo
