Jackson shines for Senegal, Laimer seals Austria win | OneFootball

Many Bayern stars were also in action for their national teams on Tuesday – and many of them shone with decisive actions. In focus: new signing Nicolas Jackson, who scored in Senegal's 3-2 victory in the World Cup qualification. Konrad Laimer, as well as Michael Olise and Dayot Upamecano, also celebrated important successes.

For Nicolas Jackson, it was an evening of highs and lows. The 24-year-old missed two good header chances in the first half, but struck in the 53rd minute: With a precise shot into the left corner, he secured the 2-2 equalizer in the top match of the World Cup qualification against DR Congo.

Thanks to a late goal by Tottenham's Pape Sarr, Senegal won 3-2 and took the lead in Group B. With now 18 points after eight games, the team around Jackson has secured an excellent position in the fight for the World Cup ticket.

Konrad Laimer also made it onto the score sheet. In the 2-1 away win in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Bayern professional scored the decisive goal in the 65th minute. Austria remains flawless in qualification and celebrated their fourth win in four games.

Previously, former Bayern professional Marcel Sabitzer had marked the opening goal before Edin Dzeko equalized for Bosnia. Laimer's goal ultimately secured three important points for Ralf Rangnick's team.

The French national team could also rely on their Bayern stars. Michael Olise and Dayot Upamecano were in the starting lineup for the 2-1 victory against Iceland. Kylian Mbappé and Bradley Barcola scored for the Équipe Tricolore, which remains on course in Europe Group D.

France had to hold their breath in a numerical disadvantage after Aurélien Tchouaméni saw the red card in the 67th minute. A late goal by Iceland was disallowed after a VAR intervention – in the end, Olise, Upamecano, and Co. still celebrated the second win in the second game.

Alongside Laimer and Jackson, Harry Kane also had reason to celebrate on Tuesday evening. The Three Lions triumphed 5-0 against Serbia. Kane opened the scoring spree in the 33rd minute with his goal.

Kane and Co. showed strong form during the international break. For coach Vincent Kompany, this should be a positive signal ahead of the Bundesliga top match against HSV.
