Preamble:
Hello everyone, the recent European Cup schedule can be described as unusually compact, with many games going on every day. After a fierce first-round competition, each team also had its own performance, some got off to a good start, and of course, there were also teams that overturned.
After the second round of matches, I believe everyone must have a clearer understanding of the situation of qualifying for the round of 16 of the European Championship. And which teams are in trouble? Next, the editor will bring you a detailed report on the event, let's take a look!
1. Switzerland VS Scotland, Shaqiri World Wave equalized
First of all, let's focus on the match between Switzerland and Scotland, which is a key battle of life and death, after all, in the first round of the game, Switzerland lost 0-3 to Italy, Scotland lost 0-2 to the Czech Republic, both teams suffered a bad start, so in this game, both sides hope to be able to win and give themselves more hope of qualifying.
After the start of the game, the Swiss team took the lead, they launched a fierce attack, but the Scottish team was quite solid defensively, so that the opponent could not find a chance to score, but in the 13th minute, they relied on the opponent's own goal to take a surprise lead.
The Swiss team is naturally very anxious about such a situation, after all, they urgently need a win to qualify.
At the critical moment, the Swiss team's Shaqiri stood up, and at a position of 25 yards from the goal, he kicked a world wave directly, and the ball flew through the human wall, making the goalkeeper helpless, and directly drilled into the dead corner of the goal.
In the following games, the Swiss team has always held the initiative on the field, but no matter what kind of attack, can not score again, the final result of the game is fixed at 1-1, as a result, the Swiss team after two games, achieved 1 win and 1 draw, the points reached 4 points, temporarily ranked second in the group.
Second, Croatia VS Albania, Croatia, which overturned, was forced to draw again
Compared to Switzerland and Scotland, Croatia are under much more pressure after they suffered a 3-0 defeat to Spain in the first round.
The opponent in this game is Albania, who are ranked 66th, and it is much weaker in terms of strength, so everyone thinks that Croatia will be expected to give themselves a better chance of qualifying by winning this game.
But what they didn't expect was that in the 11th minute of the game, Croatia accidentally conceded the goal, or was broken by the opponent's own goal, although then they equalized through Kramaric's goal, and also through the opponent's own goal, successfully overtook the score.
However, just when they were expected to win, Jassoula scored a stoppage-time equaliser to hold Croatia to a 2-2 draw.
Croatia in this game, could have won to give themselves a greater hope of qualifying, but was forced to draw again, the final result did not bring them too many points, but gave them more pressure and challenge, I sincerely hope that in the next game, Croatia can adjust and usher in their own victory.
3. Germany VS Hungary, Gundogan contributed to Musiala's goal
Finally, let's take a look at the match between Germany and Hungary, which can be said to be very good compared to Switzerland and Croatia.
In the first round, they beat Portugal 5-1 against Hungary, and Germany are much stronger, so everyone is looking forward to seeing them in this game.
In the 22nd minute of the game, Musiala scored the Hungarian goal for the German team, and Gundogan, who successfully scored, also gave him a lot of help, after all, it was his calm pass that allowed Musiala to shoot easily, and in the second half of the game, it was Gundogan's turn himself, and he also scored to help the German team expand the score.
In the end, Germany managed to beat Hungary 2-0, and through two consecutive wins, they successfully qualified for the first round of the game, which also officially triggered the renewal clause in Nagelsmann's contract, and he also successfully renewed his contract until 2026.
Epilogue:
Through this round of games, it can be said that it has brought us a lot of surprises and excitement, no matter which team, it is possible to achieve outstanding performance through their own efforts, and bring us unexpected surprises.
Of course, there are also some teams that overturned, but I believe that through this experience, they will definitely be able to adjust and achieve better results, so let's look forward to more exciting games in the future!
