So far, 12 out of 32 participants know the World Cup. England, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, France, Belgium, Croatia, Spain, Serbia and Brazil have already qualified, adding to Qatar.
The Dutch also had a draw at home in the first place, but they had to enter the empty stands due to the deteriorating coronavirus situation in the country. With 84 minutes played, Bergwijn nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. The Netherlands will return to the world championships after eight years, in 2018 Russia was absent.
Turkey got ahead of the Norwegians
Turkey shot the participation in the playoffs after a break with the winning goal Kökcü. His team was three points ahead of Nora. In the semifinals of the play, however, he will not be among the deployed teams and the match will take place outside.
Wales, on the other hand, made it into the top six teams. Although the “Dragons” in Cardiff lost an accurate shot from the lime line after De Bruyne, Moore evened up until the break and the home team kept the necessary draw.
Ukraine came in second at the last minute thanks to the victory in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the defeat of Finland with France 0: 2. Both offensive aces Benzema and Mbappé, who scored in the national team for the first time in their careers in the fourth match in a row, prevailed as reigning world champions.
