On Friday, September 23, seven matches of the League of Nations took place on the football fields of Europe, in which the Ukrainian team was defeated in Scotland.
The League of nations. 5th round
Division A
Group 3
Italy 1-0 England (Orders, 68).
England again failed to take revenge for the defeat in the Euro 2020 final. And if the match in Wolverhampton in June ended in a draw, then this time in Milan the hosts won a minimal victory thanks to Raspadori’s goal in the middle of the second half. In addition, this defeat was fatal for the “three lions”, who were prematurely relegated from the elite division of the League of Nations.
Germany - Hungary - 0:1 (Salai, 17).
Guests unexpectedly opened the scoring in the first half, when Salai ferried the ball into the goal with his heel after a corner kick. The masterpiece performed by the Hungarian striker stunned the Bundestim players so much that before the final whistle they could not print the opponent’s goal. It is noteworthy that the Hungarians defeated the formidable Germans in an official match for the first time in 68 years, when the stellar team with Puskas and Kocis left no stone unturned from the Bundestim (8:3) in the 1954 World Cup group stage.
