He doesn’t stop. 38-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo scores in Portugal’s European Championship qualifying victory. Slovakia gets their ticket to the European Championship in a high-scoring game. A Cologne player scores for Luxembourg.
Thanks to superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal continued its successful series in the European Championship qualification.
The Seleção, who have already qualified for the 2024 European Football Championship in Germany, won 2-0 (0-0) in Liechtenstein. At the same time, Slovakia got their European Championship ticket with a 4:2 (2:1) win against Iceland.
Ronaldo (46th minute) and former Bayern professional João Cancelo (57th) ensured an unchallenged victory for the outsiders in Vaduz. For the Portuguese it was their ninth win in their ninth European Championship qualifying game.
The Slovaks’ success was also largely unthreatened. Juraj Kucka (30th), former Bundesliga professional Ondrej Duda (36th) and Lukas Haraslin (47th/55th) scored the goals against Iceland. Orri Oskarsson (17th) and Andri Gudjohnsen (74th) scored for the guests.
The Luxembourgers, who have been surprisingly strong so far in this European Championship qualification, can still qualify through the playoffs after another success. Cologne’s Mathias Olesen (6th), Gerson Rodrigues (30th/penalty/90th+5) and an own goal from Nihad Mujakic (55th) ensured the 4-1 (2-0) win against Bosnia-Herzegovina. Renato Gojkovic (90th + 4) scored the goal for the guests.
