Lukaku Reaches Impressive Milestone As Belgium Win Big
06 September, 2021
Spain 4-0 Georgia
Spain turned from their 2-1 loss to Sweden on Thursday to smash Georgia 4-0 in their Group B 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier in Badajoz on Sunday evening.
Luis Enrqiue’s men made their intentions clear from the start as Joel Gaya, Carlos Soler and Ferran Torres banged the back of the net in the first half period.
Georgia’s miserable evening didn’t end there, with the second stanza truly underway Pablo Sarabia got in on the act to see his side’s quest to Qatar remain on track.
San Marino 1-7 Poland
Poland bagged another emphatic victory in their 2022 World Cup qualification campaign after thumping a hapless San Marino 7-1.
Robert Lewandowski grabbed a brace in the first 25 minutes and efforts from Karol Swiderski and Karol Linetty handed the Poles a healthy four-goal lead at the interval.
San Marino pulled one back thereafter through Nicola Nanni, but Poland had the final say through Adam Buksa with a treble of strikes.
Belgium 3-0 Czech Republic
Romelu Lukaku capped his 100th appearance for Belgium in style with the opener in their 3-0 win over Czech Republic.
The Chelsea forward netted the opening strike as early as eight minutes before Eden Hazard made it two ahead of halftime with Alexis Saelemaekers coming off the bench to make it three.
This win ensured the Red Devils stay on top of Group E, but more importantly took them within touching distance of a spot at the World Cup finals next year.
Germany 6-0 Armenia
Germany’s positive reign under manager Hansi Flick continued following a commanding 6-0 victory over Armenia.
Serge Gnabry bagged a first half double, while Marco Reus, Timo Werner, Jonas Hoffman and a late finish from debutant Karim Adeyemi put the visitors out of sight to see Die Mannschaft remain on top of Group J.
Switzerland 0-0 Italy
Italy set a new international record of going 36 games without defeat following their goalless draw with Switzerland.
The European champions did have the perfect chance to break the deadlock in the second half, but Jorginho failed to convert from the penalty spot.
