Phil Foden, and Harry Kane, alongside Jude, scored in a 3-1 victory over Scotland in an international friendly. With this win, England maintained its unbeaten record against Scotland for 24 years.
Bellingham is enjoying a great time, but his teammate, defender, is having a rather uneventful experience. This footballer, who is facing criticism, put the ball into his own net yesterday. Maguire, who came onto the field as a substitute in the 46th minute, scored an own goal in the 67th minute, putting England under some pressure.
However, in the 81st minute of the match, England left the field with a comfortable victory thanks to a goal by Kane. Scotland’s five-match winning streak against England came to an end, marking England’s 600th victory in all competitions. England became the first European team to achieve this milestone.
It’s time for Judd Bellingham. He scored 5 goals in the first 4 matches of his career with Real Madrid. The midfielder also found the net for the England national team during the international break and provided an assist.
On the other hand, Germany defeated France 2-1 in another friendly match. Interim coach Rudy Fowler and the German footballers are greatly relieved. Prior to this victory, there was turmoil in German football as the four-time world champions suffered three consecutive losses, including one against Japan. Flick was suspended by the German Football Federation within hours of the 4–1 defeat to Japan.
Germany secured their first victory under interim coach Rudi Fowler. Thomas Muller and Leroy Sane scored for Germany in their win against France. However, the German coach has concerns even on the day of victory, as midfielder Ilkay Gundwan was injured in yesterday’s match against France. Gundwan, who joined Barcelona this season, sustained an injury and left the field in the 25th minute. The seriousness of this Barcelona midfielder’s injury is not yet known. Nonetheless, France did not field their best team in the friendly match, with Kylian Mbappe, the team’s top player, being rested.
At the end of the match, Coach Fowler, who guided Germany to victory, stated, “This victory is important for the footballers, for the federation. The performance, especially in the first half, was outstanding. This win provides significant relief for us.”
