This morning (March 23), in a number of noteworthy friendly matches, Norway and Hungary had opposite outcomes despite playing at home versus Turkey and the Czech Republic. If Hungary was happy, Norway’s loss was utterly puzzling.
One of the worst teams not allowed to compete in the EURO 2024 championships, Norway, has assembled a strong team that includes well-known players like Ajer, Berge, Sorloth, and two standout Premier League players. are Martin Odegaard and Erling Haaland.
Even though Norway was playing at home, this was not their day. In the twentieth minute, Bobb gave this squad the lead. But then goals from ZIma (36′) and Barak (85′) gave the Czech Republic a 2-1 victory. Thus, Norway failed to win the previous two games. On March 27, they will play Slovakia, and supporters are hoping that the home team will triumph once more.
In contrast to Norway, Hungary, the other host team in this set of friendly matches, had the pleasure of triumphing over Türkiye, their “equal” opponent. The only goal Hungary managed to score, though, came from the penalty spot and was scored by Szoboszlai, a midfielder for Liverpool.
During other friendly matches, Senegal defeated Gabon 3-0, with Sadio Mane—a former Liverpool player and superstar Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Club Nassr (Saudi Arabia) teammate—scoring for the squad. Concurrently, Chile achieved the same outcome against Albania through victory. But Algeria had to work hard to defeat Boliva, the South American representative, by a slim 3-2 edge.
