The Liverpool full-backs had rather different nights at Hampden Park. Shortly after Bradley’s goal in the first half—in which he regained possession before burst into the area and found the top corner thanks to a tiny deflection—Robertson was substituted due to what appeared to be an ιnjury.

In addition to scoring goals, Dominik Szoboszlai led Hungary to a 2-0 friendly victory over Kosovo. In Budapest, the Reds midfielder opened the score just before the hour.

While France and Konate, who played the entire 90 minutes, overcame Chile by the same score in Marseille, Diaz registered an assist before coming off the field midway through the second half as Colombia upset Romania 3-2 in Madrid.

Virgil van Dijk, who started and finished the match, and Cody Gakpo, a late substitution, played in the Netherlands’ 2-1 loss to Germany in Frankfurt, while Joe Gomez replaced the injured John Stones after 10 minutes of England’s 2-2 friendly tie with Belgium at Wembley.

Kostas Tsimikas suffered grief after Greece lost the Euro 2024 play-off final to Georgia 4-2 on penalties. Tsimikas did not take a penalty kιck in the shootout, although he did play the entire 120 minutes of the 0-0 tie in Tbilisi.

Continuing his excellent play for the England U21s, Harvey Elliott assisted on two goals in a 7-0 victory over Luxembourg. Elliott and Jarell Quansah participated in the European Championship qualifying from start to finish.

Finally, Lewis Koumas and Terence Miles began as Wales U21s lost 2-0 to Morocco U23s in a friendly match. Luke Chambers and Kaide Gordon were engaged as the England Elite Squad (U20s) defeated Czechia 3-1.
