UEFA Nations league Serbia 2-0 Switzerland - Highlights and news 13.10.2024

 Serbia drove through Nico Elvedi's own objective in first-half stoppage time and Aleksandar Mitrovic multiplied the benefit before Predrag Rajkovic saved a punishment from Swiss striker Breel Embolo. Serbia took a giant stride towards survival in the UEFA Nations League top-flight by securing a 2-0 victory over near rivals Switzerland - their first-ever head-to-head win. With  Serbia  and  Switzerland  essentially competing against each other to avoid relegation from Group A4, you’d have been forgiven for expecting a brighter start from two sides desperate to beat the other. It turned out to be quite the opposite though, as the only bright spot in an incredibly dull start came when  Veljko Birmancevic ’s tame effort was easily gathered by  Gregor Kobel . It took until just after the half-hour mark for the game's first big chance to arrive, but it was wasted by  Breel Embolo  who skewed wide after he was teed up by  Silvan Widmer . That ...

Macedonia - Estonia - Euro 2008

League: Euro 2008 qualifiers Event: Macedonia - Estonia Final score: 1-1 Goal scorers: Match report from UEFA : Macedonian frustration in Skopje F.Y.R. Macedonia failed to complete the double over Group E rivals Estonia despite dominating for large periods as they pushed in vain for a winning goal in Skopje. Early onslaught Despite struggling against an early Estonia onslaught, which earned the visitors a 17th-minute lead through Raio Piiroja's strike, the Macedonians equalised on the half-hour when Goran Maznov headed in a corner. The subsequent rash of chances that they forced could not produce a winner. Estonia on top Estonia had the better of the first half and capitalised when Piiroja drove a right-footed shot past goalkeeper Petar Milosevski to give his team a deserved advantage. The hosts responded, though, and Maznov restored parity when he met Darko Tasevski's inswinging corner with a towering header. Estonia then came close to regaining the initiative late in the h...

Scotland-Lithuania 3-1 euro 08

Scotland beats Lithuania 3-1 in Euro 2008 qualifier From FoxSports : GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) - Shaun McManus and James McFadden scored second-half goals Saturday to lead Scotland over Lithuania 3-1 in a European Championship qualifying match. Kris Boyd gave Scotland the lead in the 31st minute with a header off a Darren Fletcher free kick, but Tomas Danivelicius equalized in the 61st after Fletcher was whistled for a penalty for bringing down Saulius Mikoliunas. Television replays showed minimal contact between the two players. "It would have been sickening to drop points because of that," Fletcher said. "We've got to be bigger than that and show character and come back from it." The Scot's pressured after conceding the penalty and McManus made it 2-1 in the 77th by knocking in a cross from substitute Shaun Maloney. McFadden added a third goal in the 83rd minute with a shot from just outside the penalty area. Lithuania rarely threatened Scotland's s...

Euro 2008 - Portugal 2 - 2 Poland - Video

From Footyblog.net : Portugal suffered a setback against Poland as they only managed to draw 2-2 with Poland’s second goal coming in the 87th minute, a wonderstrike by Krzynowek.M Lewandowski had given the Poles the lead in the 44th minute but Maniche cancelled it out 6 minutes later to make it 1-1. Cristiano Ronaldo and substitue Quaresma combined well to make it 2-1. After a great cross from the right, the Manchester United star Ronaldo used his strength and agility to control the ball and then loop it home from close range, despite the attention of his marker. But it was Jacek Kryznowek who was the hero as the Wolfsburg midfielder’s effort proved too hot to handle for Betis keeper Ricardo.

One and only...Michael Laudrup... 09.28.2024 news and highlights

 Michael Laudrup, a former Danish national team player and player for Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid, refused to go to the European Football Championship in 1992 in protest at the expulsion of Yugoslavia, which was better in the qualifiers. Namely, Yugoslavia was first in the qualification group, and Denmark was second. He said then that neither he nor his national team deserved to replace a better team, the one that won it on the field, the country still called Yugoslavia at the time. To make the irony even greater, the Danes then won the championship by defeating Germany. When asked if he regrets not being part of the team that won the European Championship, he only briefly stated: "Senseless question, a great injustice was done to Yugoslavia."
