Kazakhstan shocks Denmark in the final stages

Group C

England 2-0 Ukraine

England celebrate their second victory in the second match of the European Championship qualifier. Last year’s European Championship finalists easily drew 2-0 against Ukraine in their first appearance of the season.

On Thursday, Harry Kane became England’s top scorer in history thanks to his penalty kick against Italy (2-1). And the Tottenham striker’s thirst for goals didn’t seem to be quenched, as the captain was on hand to block Bukayo Saka’s cross into the net against Ukraine (37′). It was a close range goal, the likes of which was scored by the Three Lions’ 55-time leading scorer. England’s second goal stunned the fans at Wembley when Saka, Granit Xhaka’s Arsenal teammate, volleyed the ball from the edge of the penalty area into the top left corner of the goal less than three minutes later.

As a result, Gareth Southgate’s side, who gave Brentford striker Evan Toni his international debut at the age of 27, had many opportunities to consolidate their lead and improve their goal difference. Even if there are no more goals in London, England, who travel to Malta in the third round in June, should be pleased with the start of this qualifying phase.

England 2-0 Ukraine (2-0)
London. SR Gozubuyuk (NED).
Portals: 37. Kane 1-0. 40. Saka 2-0.
England: Pickford. Walker, Stones, Maguire, Chilwell; Bellingham (85 Gallagher), Henderson, Rice; Saka, Ken (Tony 81), Madison (Greylish 85).

Kazakhstan 3-2 Denmark

Almost incredible scenes took place in Astana during the European Championship qualifiers between Kazakhstan and Denmark. At the break, the visitors went 2-0 up thanks to two goals from Rasmus Höglund and it all looked as if the favorites were going to win as expected. But the Kazakhs raised the tension – especially from the seventy-third minute. Because Bajtgar Sinotdino met from eleven meters to 1: 2. In the 86th minute, Asqat Taghybergen equalized with a great long-range shot before Abat Ayymbetov entered the turn.

Kazakhstan are level with Denmark on points after losing 2-1 to Slovenia in their opening match. Denmark, who were knocked out at the World Cup group stage, were disappointed after beating Finland 3-1. The 20-year-old Höjlund has already scored all of Denmark’s goals in the match and now has five goals in his first two matches for the national team.

Kazakhstan 3-2 Denmark (0-2)
Astana. SR Simovic (SRB).
Portals: 21- Hooglund 0-1. 36. Hooglund 0-2. 73. Zaynutdinov 1: 2. 86. Tagebergen 2-2. 89. Aymbetov 3: 2.
note: 96. Yellow card for Impetov (Kazakhstan/foul).
