Switzerland-Portugal: 1-0
Portugal goes on furious vacation. Fernando Santos’ men, initially undefeated in the League of Nations, stunned Switzerland in Geneva (1-0), the same Switzerland they had corrected a few days earlier in Lisbon. They were quietly chosen by Haris Seferovic (first), who thus provided his team’s first success in 2022 with an unstoppable header.

Portugal had to run behind the score, often confusing speed and haste in this meeting in which Cristiano Ronaldo did not participate at all, and he was left to rest. He was also not helped by the disappointing performances of Rafael Leao and Bruno Fernandez, who were both guilty of excessive technical accuracy to hope for improvement.
There was better after the break, except that Jonas Umlin had a great game. The Swiss goalkeeper disgusted the Portuguese attackers on several occasions, especially when it was more difficult for his teammates (49, 63, 71, 78, 88). In terms of success, it was simply not the day of the Portuguese, who ceded their lead in Group 2 of League A to Spain, for a small point. Suffice it to say that the final looms between the two countries for a place in the Big Four. We can take out the diary: Poster scheduled for September 27 release.
Spain – Czech Republic: 2-0
Spain deal. La Roja got rid of the Czech Republic (2-0), and took advantage of this bad move from Portugal to take control of the second set. At La Rosalida stadium in Malaga, Carlos Soler (24) and Pablo Sarabia (75) provided the victory. victory for them. Thanks to the defeat of Portugal in Switzerland (1-0), Luis Enrique’s men took the opportunity to lead the standings in Group B, while the Czechs remained in third place.
Realism was Spanish. In an attacking game that was more inclined to the right, in the first chapter, Marco Asensio, who took office for the first time since November 2020, knew exactly how to find Carlos Soler, who finished without control, to fire his goal and score his third. In the selection (24, 1-0).
Then Luis Enrique performed a winning training, where, fifteen minutes after the end of this meeting, Pablo Sarabia permanently removed his team from close range (75, 2-0). Also entering during the match, Gavi (70th position) also stood out, while Dani Olmo also faced Alice Mendos (82nd position).
La Roja dominated their subject (76% possession), before going on sabbatical, against a rival who stopped him last Sunday in the first leg (2-2). This time again, the Czechs bravely played their luck, with an excellent start to the match. Pressing their opponents high, Vladimir Koval’s partners recovered the balls, and then tried to endanger Unai Simon.
But neither Vaclav Cerny (18) nor Jan Kochta (20) could spot the error. It is a pleasure for La Roja who can think of his finals in September.
