Low performance also from Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium
MADRID, 12 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Italy kept this Saturday the leadership of Group 3 of the First Division of the League of Nations after a goalless draw against England, bottom but with options for the tables that Hungary and Germany also signed (1-1), while the Netherlands remains at the top of Group 4 with another draw (2-2) against Poland.
At the Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, the English team had to settle for a draw, without knowing victory after three rounds of the UEFA tournament. The reissue of the final of the last European Championship was played behind closed doors precisely because of the altercations of that match at Wembley.
Gareth Southgate’s men had the best chance of taking the lead in the first half, with a ball hitting Mount’s crossbar. Raheem Sterling also forgave, but Italy collided with goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale on another couple of good runs. The tie is enough for the European champion to continue leading with 5 points.
With 4 and 3 are Hungary and Germany, after a 1-1 at the Puskas Arena, where the goals came early through Nagy and Hoffmann, in the draw for the Germans. Hansi Flick’s men lacked conviction to seek a better result, which maintains the ‘Final Four’ options of an England that is bottom with 2 points.
In addition, on Saturday he also left the dispute of the third day of Group 4. The Netherlands is leader with 7 points, thanks to a draw against Poland when they went into the break with a 0-2. The Poles are left with 4 points, the same as Belgium, because of Wales’ draw, through Brennan Johnson, who gave the first point in the tournament for The Dragons in the last minutes.
