London, Nov. 13, LETA. Hero Keyn scored three goals on Friday as England’s national football team at Wembley Stadium celebrated a devastating victory in the World Cup qualifiers and secured a place in the final, while Georgia’s unrealized 11-meter penalty prevented the Italian champions from approaching.
Representatives of the football homeland destroyed Albania on their field with the result 5: 0 (5: 0).
In the ninth minute after Rice James’ free kick, Herijs Magvairs headed the ball into the goal and reached 1: 0. Nine minutes later, Jordan Henderson launched an attack, which was followed by Cain, the English striker 2-0.
Next, in the 28th minute, Henderson hit the ball in the lower corner of the penalty area after Cain’s pass, but five minutes later, with the help of Rahim Sterling, Cain was close – 4: 0.
In the second minute of the compensation time, Keyn hit the ball into the goal with an acrobatic jump and passed a “hat-trick”.
On Monday, England will meet the weakest team in the FIFA rankings in San Marino and a point will be enough to get a ticket.
In this group, Poland defeated Andorra 4: 1 (3: 1).
In the first minute, Richard Fernandes left the Andorrans with ten men. Robert Levandowski stood out for the Poles twice, but Arkadyusz Milik and Kamil Jozvjak scored. Andorra noticed the goal being scored in the minority – their chance by Mark Valess.
In sub-group I, England have 23 points since the last round, Poland has 20 points, Albania has 15 points, Hungary has 14 points, Andorra has six points, but San Marino continues the cycle without points.
Elsewhere, the European champion Italy and Switzerland met with a 1: 1 draw in Rome (0: 0).
The Swiss team took the lead in the 11th minute, when after a long shot from Noah Okafora, Silvans Vidmers hit the left side of the penalty area. In the 36th minute of the match, after a cunning play, Giovanni di Lorenzo scored 1: 1.
In the last minute of the regular time, an 11-meter penalty was awarded to the Swiss national team’s goal in the disputed episode, but the Georgian shot flew over the goal without Italy’s “pendulum”. The victory would have given Italy a three-point lead over Switzerland and a three-goal difference between the goals scored and lost, which would allow it to look confidently towards the final before the last match of the selection.
Lithuanians also play in this group, ending the cycle with a loss of 0: 1 (0: 1) away against Northern Ireland. 18 minutes into the match, the referee signaled for a Bens Šatkus goal.
In sub-group C, Italy and Switzerland have 15 points in seven battles, and will meet in the last round with eight points each for Northern Ireland and Bulgaria. Lithuania finished the selection with three points in eight battles.
Meanwhile, Denmark, which had already provided the road sign, defeated the Faroe Islands 3: 1 (1: 0) at home. It was only six minutes for the Danes to continue the cycle with a missed goal.
The place in the “play-off” round was secured by Scotland, which played Moldova 2-0 (1: 0).
Denmark has already secured a convincing first place in sub-group F with 27 points. Scotland follows with 20 points, Israel and Austria with 13 points, Faroese footballers with four points and Moldova with one.
In the European area, the samples are divided into ten subgroups, five by five and five by six. Ten group winners will qualify for the World Cup final, and ten second-place winners and two top UEFA Nations teams in the sub-groups will be out of the top two.
In the elimination tournament, 12 teams will be divided into three “play-off” branches, where in March 2022 three more participants of the final tournament will be determined.
The tickets to the final tournament have been provided by the national teams of Qatar, Germany, Denmark and Brazil.
The final of the 2022 World Cup will take place in Qatar, and due to the hot weather, the tournament will be played in the winter from November 21 to December 18.
In 2022, Qatar will host the final World Cup final with 32 teams. The 2026 tournament, hosted by Canada, Mexico and the United States, will feature 48 national teams.
