Ramos' double and Fati's record

The Spanish national team won a convincing victory in the 2nd round of the group stage of the League of Nations and extended their unbeaten run against the Ukrainian team (five wins, one draw).

The Spaniards defeated their rivals with a score of 4: 0, and Sergio Ramos became one of the main creators of success.

Already in the opening of the meeting, he converted the 11-meter, and then irresistibly hit his head, scoring for the national team for the 23rd time.

The Real Madrid defender caught up with the legendary Alfredo Di Stefano and came in eighth in the number of goals for the national team.

In the 32nd minute, Ansu Fati managed to upset Andriy Pyatov, who became the youngest scorer in the history of the “red fury” (17 years and 311 days).

And the final score at the end of the game was set by the Manchester City rookie Ferran Torres.

Spain's success was overshadowed by the injury of Sergio Regilon.

The talented Sevilla defender was injured in a collision with Viktor Kovalenko and was able to leave the field only with the help of the medical staff.

At this point, Luis Enrique had already used all available substitutions, so the hosts had to spend the last minutes with ten men.

Germany's misfire and Embolo's injury

Joachim Loew's wards have not been able to win the Nations League for six matches already.

This time, the Germans on a visit failed to cope with the Swiss.

Already in the 14th minute of the meeting, Ilkay Gundogan effectively struck the bottom, and at the beginning of the second half, Sylvain Widmer restored parity.

The Basel defender entered the field with the national team for the first time since 2017 and immediately scored the first goal in a Nati shirt.

This confrontation was also marred by trauma.

Assist Brel Embolo left the field ahead of time due to damage.

It can be added that in the entire history of the football confrontation, the teams of Germany and Switzerland have drawn only once before.

It happened at the 1938 World Cup.

The meeting of the first round of the playoffs ended with a score of 1: 1, in connection with which a replay was scheduled.

Five days later, the Bundesmannschaft were defeated 2-4 and finished the tournament.

Removal of Kolarov and damage to Lazovic

The rivals of the Russian national team in the League of Nations group did not reveal the winner and helped Stanislav Cherchesov's wards to strengthen their leadership in the quartet.

The meeting between Serbia and Turkey ended in a goalless draw, but it was far from boring.

For two, the teams struck 23 shots on goal and once demanded from the referee to appoint a penalty.

True, Belarusian Aleksey Kulbakov never reacted to the persuasion, but showed two yellow cards to Alexander Kolarov.

For the Roma defender, this removal was the third in 92 games for the national team.

This game also did not go without personnel losses.

This time, Darko Lazovic became the “victim”.

In the 25th minute, the flank midfielder suffered in a collision with Kenan Koroman and left the field two minutes later.

It was the Verona midfielder who became the author of the assist for Alexander Mitrovic in the match with Russia.

Wales triumph and Jensen's quick goal

The Welsh have snatched three points from the Bulgarians in their second victory in the current UEFA Nations League.

Ryan Giggs' wards had an advantage, but for a long time they could not open up the opponent's defense.

Only in the fourth compensated minute of the match, Neko Williams, who left the bench, forced Georgy Georgiev to capitulate.

For the "dragons" this victory was the fourth in a row, which was their best achievement since March 2003.

Another team from the British Isles was less successful.

Ireland lost to Finland at home, and Fredrik Jensen became the main character.

The Augsburg striker appeared on the field in the 63rd minute and after 19 seconds lit his name on the scoreboard.

Moreover, he himself acted as the organizer of the attack, winning the power struggle in the center of the field.

Berisha's goal and loss to Moldova

The Kosovo national team at home could not cope with the Greek team.

By the 51st minute the guests were leading with a difference of two goals, sponsored by Dimitris Limnios and Dimitrios Siovas.

Eight minutes before the end of the game, the hosts managed to close the gap, but they weren't enough for more.

The only goal was scored by the forward of Grozny “Akhmat” Bernard Berisha.

This success allowed the Greeks to catch up on points with the group leaders - the Slovenes.

Matjaz Kek's wards at home prevailed over the players from Moldova, and Damian Bohar scored the only goal at his own expense.

For the hosts goalkeeper Jan Oblak, this meeting was the 30th for the national team and the 14th, in which he left his goal intact.
