The new multiplex of this penultimate evening of the Euro 2024 qualifiers before the end of the international break offered several very interesting posters with a view to qualifying for the next major European competition for the selections. But while this evening promised to be particularly grandiose, a new dramatic event came to spoil this beautiful football celebration. Indeed, a shooting broke out on avenue d’Ieper, in Brussels, around 7:15 p.m. Two people of Swedish nationality were also assassinated, according to several Belgian and Swedish sources before the meeting between Belgium and Sweden.

Although the match was finally interrupted at the break, the two teams still played the first period. While the information began to spread in the aisles of the King Baudouin stadium, the 22 actors went blow for blow. During a very intense first act, the Red Devils managed to maintain their invincibility following conceding the opening score through Victor Gyokeres, who started from his side and was ultra decisive on a counter-edged attack. Nevertheless, Belgium, constantly manhandled, found the resources to equalize on a penalty obtained by Orel Mangala and transformed by Romelu Lukaku, his 79th goal for the selection.

Netherlands regain second place in Group B from Greece
In the other matches, we found two other important selections on the European and international scene. Initially, following their home defeat once morest the France team (1-2), the Netherlands had to win away once morest Greece so as not to compromise all their chances of qualifying. The Greeks, for their part, remained on two victories once morest Ireland and Gibraltar and therefore advanced like the dolphins of the Blues before this meeting which inevitably promised to be incandescent. Well into their match, the locals were hurting the Dutch who were gradually taking the game into their own hands but Odisseas Vlachodimos was uncompromising on a penalty taken from Wout Weghorst.

With the two teams heading for a draw, the Dutch were awarded a second penalty following Denzel Dumfries was belted by Vangelis Pavlidis. Captain Virgil Van Djik did not tremble this time to give his team a crucial advantage. The Liverpool defender allows the Netherlands to take three very important points as the Batavians regain second place in Group B behind the Blues from their evening opponents. Finally, in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Portugal won thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo who scored a new double as well as a new record. Bruno Fernandes and the two Joaos, Cancelo and Félix, took part in the party before the Portuguese gave up following returning from the locker room.
