Argentina beat Ecuador 1-0 last Friday Alejandro Garnacho On the seat (Lisandro Martinez He was not included in the match squad), and on Friday evening several international matches were held in which United players participated.
Slovakia 0-1 (0-1) Portugal
Bruno Fernandes He was the match-winner as Portugal won away to Slovakia 1-0 – on his 29th birthday.
Diogo Dalot I also played the entire game.
Slovakia has emerged as Portugal’s biggest rival so far in European Championship qualifiers, but the Portuguese have now won all five matches so far in Group J.
The goal came in the 43rd minute when the Slovakian defenders allowed Fernandes to run wide into his own penalty area, and the United captain put the ball safely into the corner behind former Red Martin Dubravka.
Fernandes could have easily provided an assist in the second half, but former Red Cristiano Ronaldo missed after being played well by Fernandes, and thus Fernandes himself became the match’s only scorer.
Cyprus 0–3 (0-3) Scotland
Scott McTominay United’s start to the season may not have been great, with not much playing time, but it was certainly important for Scotland, who won 3-0 away to Cyprus.
Already in the sixth minute, McTominay sent Scotland ahead against Cyprus when John McGinn sent a cross from Robertson to the back post, and there McTominay came running and headed the ball into the net. It was his sixth goal in the first five European Championship qualifiers.
In doing so, he is now the top scorer in the EC Qualifiers with Rasmus Hoglund and former player Romelu Lukaku.
Later, he also had a good build-up to score 3-0 against the aforementioned McGinn, and thus ended up scoring a goal and an assist.
Scotland have won all five matches so far in their European Championship qualifiers, including a home win against Spain and an away win over Norway, and are clear leaders of the qualifying group.
After the 74th minute, McTominay hit the post, and he had a good opportunity in the first half as well, so he could easily score two goals.
He was substituted in the 90th minute and was greeted by the Scottish fans who made the trip.
Türkiye 1-1 Armenia
Altai Binder He came as expected on the field in the Türkiye match on Friday.
It ended in a 1-1 draw after Armenia took the lead at the beginning of the second half, before Turkey equalized at the end.
Turkey currently leads the group by three points over Croatia and Armenia, but Croatia has played two fewer matches, while Armenia has played one less, so they are by no means in a secure position at the top of the table.
On Tuesday, Turkey will play a special international match against Japan, so there will likely be more chance of Bender playing there.

- Alvaro Fernandez He played the entire match for Spain Under-21s in their 6-0 away win over Malta, and our player also provided an impressive assist.
- Maxi O’Dell He made his debut for the Polish under-21 national team when he was substituted in the 81st minute of a 3-0 win over Kosovo.
