On Sunday in the European zone, ten 2018 World Cup qualifying matches were played. An unexpected sensation was recorded in Toulouse, where the French national team, supported by their fans, met with the European underdog Luxembourg. After a fierce 90 minutes of battle, an unexpected result was recorded - a goalless draw. The French controlled the ball 74 percent of the time, taking 31 shots, 8 of which were on target, but the European vice-champions failed to score a single precise shot during the match. In addition, at the end of the match, Luxembourg could have achieved a historic victory - Gerson Rodrigues was left one-on-one with the goalkeeper and hit the post from an acute angle. Luxembourg achieved amazing results in the last two qualifying matches - won by a narrow margin against Belarus and now played a draw with the French. In other matches, the Portuguese national team defeated Hungary after a tough battle. Andre Silva scored the winning goal in the 48th minute after a pass from Cristiano Ronaldo. In another match, Belgium defeated Greece 2-1 after a fierce battle, securing a direct ticket to the World Cup in Russia. The remaining matches ended with victories for Croatia, Sweden, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Netherlands, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Switzerland.
