In international friendly action, Poland secured a 1-0 victory over Germany, thanks to Jakub Kiwior’s first international goal.
With Germany already guaranteed a spot at Euro 2024 as hosts, Poland used the match as a warm-up for their upcoming qualifier against Moldova.
The decisive moment came in the 31st minute when Jakub rose highest to head a corner into the net, capitalizing on a bounce that deceived goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Jakub played the entire 90 minutes as Poland celebrated an impressive win against their neighbors.

Meanwhile, Bukayo Saka is expected to feature for England once again as they face North Macedonia in a crucial qualifying match. Saka played the first half in England’s 4-0 victory over Malta, where he played a significant role in the opening goal, forcing an own goal by Ferdinando Apap. The win in Valletta sets England up for a chance to secure their fourth consecutive victory in qualifying.
Switzerland, captained by Granit Xhaka, secured a narrow 2-1 win against Andorra to maintain their position atop their group. Xhaka played the full 90 minutes as Switzerland maintained their perfect record heading into a home match against Romania, who are trailing them by just two points in the standings.

Still haven’t seen enough of this lad, maybe a victim of our poor rotation policy, but seems to have many suitors back in Europe.
It is rumored he’s unsettles, but that comes as no surprise, frustrated and rusty, I take it he’s just eager to compete.
With the international friendlies and preseason, and with a gaffer that has learned so much in the last campaign, surely he will afforded the chance to make a good account of his self.
Saka’s second goal of his hat-trick for England is a sign-post that this lad has not yet started to show the great stuff he is made off. What a smash! Can’t get tired watching Saka play!!
saka goals was something x, i love that guy and did anybody by chance watch baloguon goal against Canada that goal was magical….
