EČ atrankoje - Russian triumph and Ukraine's defeat to Spain

On the evening without the Lithuanian national team match against the English national team, eight more matches were played. They finally clarified the list of teams that will definitely compete in next year's European Championship in France. The countries that finished in third place in the group will have to play another additional match. In Group C, the Spaniards secured the first place by defeating Ukraine away with Mario Gaspar's goal, who failed to catch up with Slovakia, which took second place. In this case, the Ukrainians would have made a serious bid with 22 points to become the best third team, also automatically qualifying for next year's tournament. Now they will have to fight their way in additional matches. In Group E, everything was clear before yesterday's matches. England, achieving a record, took the first place, while the Swiss managed to stay in second place after beating Estonia in the final moments. The only goal was an own goal by Ragnar Klavan. The Slovenian footballers, who defeated San Marino last night, will have to play an additional match. Meanwhile, in Group F, the winner of the second place could still change, but Russia secured this position by comfortably defeating Montenegro at home. Leonid Slutsky's students were led forward by Oleg Kuzmin and Alexander Kokorin, who scored in the first half. Sweden's victory against Moldova did not save them and they will have to continue fighting for qualification. Austria became the strongest team in this group, recording another victory against Liechtenstein and remaining close to England's record with 28 points.
