England won 3-1 once morest Italy and secured their ticket to Euro 2024 on Tuesday, during the shock of the 8th qualifying day at Wembley (London). Italy, third in Group C behind Ukraine, is in difficulty and will need to beat North Macedonia and Ukraine in November to defend its title this summer.
After a choppy first quarter of an hour, Gianluca Scamacca unlocked his selection counter (15th) by taking, alone from the penalty spot, a cross from Giovanni Di Lorenzo. A foul by Di Lorenzo in the area gave the English a penalty, impeccably converted by Harry Kane (32nd). England raised the level of play in the second half and Marcus Rashford gave his team the advantage (57th) following crossing from the left on a counter, well served by Jude Bellingham. Harry Kane finally scored a double (77th), launched in a one-on-one match with Gianluigi Donnaruma by an Italian recovery error.
The Three Lions are moving ahead in the standings (16 points) and are now six points ahead of Italy, relegated to third place following Ukraine’s victory at the same time (13 points, but a match of more) once morest Malta (1-3).
In group G, Serbia waited until the end of the match to get rid of the Montenegrin neighbor (3-1), including a double from former Anderlecht player Aleksandar Mitrovic (9th, 73rd) and a goal from Dusan Tadic ( 77th). The Serbs consolidate their second place and come within one point of Hungary (14 points), held in check by Lithuania (2-2).
In Group H, Denmark fought hard to beat San Marino (1-2), last nation in the FIFA rankings. The Danes lead the group on equal points with Slovenia, who won in Northern Ireland (0-1).
