Coman and Upamecano won the ticket to the European Championship, De Ligt’s Netherlands are worried
France has qualified for the European Championships so far confidently and with full points. Following an impressive 4-0 win in the first leg against the Netherlands, Kylian Mbappe scored with a remarkable double pack (7th/53rd) to ensure that the vice world champions surrounding Kingsley Coman and the currently injured Dayot Upamecano were able to book their ticket.

Without the ill De Ligt, the Oranje will have to worry about their European Championship ticket. As Greece won 2–0 in Ireland, the Netherlands dropped to third in the group, three points behind the Greeks. The direct clash will take place in Athens on Monday. Anything other than a win for the Dutch will initially put a big question mark over their participation in the European Championship. However, the truth is that the 2004 European champions still have to play against France during the upcoming international break at the end of November.
90.+2: Joker Tail shines on his U21 debut
Mathis Tell has already saved a few points for FC Bayern this season and has thus earned his place in the French U21 team coached by childhood idol Thierry Henry.
After 77 minutes, Bayern’s super joker made his debut in the European Championship qualifier against Bosnia and Herzegovina – and this time struck again: in the 92nd minute, Tell launched a deep run. In the centre, Arnaud Kalimuendo simply had to head in a perfect cross.
Leimer scores – but Austria’s comeback remains unimpressive
Meanwhile, Austria will still have to wait for the EM ticket. Led by captain Konrad Laimer, Ralf Rangnick’s team welcomed Domenico Tedesco’s Belgians. After goals from Dodi Lukebakio (12th/55th) and Romelu Lukaku (58th), the game seemed decided.

Leimer himself (72nd) and his former Bayern teammate Marcel Sabitzer (84th) made things exciting again. It was not enough to equalize. Austria will also be included in the European Championships with a win in Baku on Monday.
England won even without Kane
While Austrian captain Laimer missed out by a narrow margin, his English counterpart had a quiet evening. Without resting several top performers, including Harry Kane, the “Three Lions” defeated Australia 1–0. The goal of the day was scored by Ollie Watkins (57th minute).
Next Tuesday, Kane will probably be called up again when the last European Championship final against Italy is replayed.
Clear defeat against Japan: Davis and Canada have an evening to forget
Canada perhaps imagined things differently. The first game following the era of successful coach John Herdman (now Toronto FC) took the Canadians to Japan. As they did against the DFB team, the “Samurai Blue” showed their form – with exactly the same result.
Canada also lost 4-1. Alphonso Davies took a penalty, which Jonathan David missed after 22 minutes. Bayern’s left-back also scored an own goal six minutes before half-time.
Captain Kim led South Korea to a great victory
Things went much better for South Korea and captain Min-Jae Kim: Jurgen Klinsmann’s side won 4–0 in a friendly against Tunisia. Bayern’s new signing almost scored himself. However, the interim 3–0 lead was seen as an own goal by Tunisia’s Yassine Meria.
