Some interesting outcomes in yesterday's various fixtures.
In Euro 2024 qualifying, the huge shock was the thorough thrashing #120 Azerbaijan gave #23 Sweden, 3-0. Was also surprised by the 2-2 draw between Scotland (#34) and Georgia (#76). Then I saw that Napoli's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored both for Georgia, and I understood better. A milder surprise was #87 Luxembourg 4, #63 Bosnia and Herzegovina 1. But Luxembourg did net two in second half injury time.
For the CONCACAF Nations League, the U.S. struggled with T&T before putting them away with a barrage of goals in three goals in the last ten minutes of the match.
CAF: Lesotho (#153) drew with #40 Nigeria 1-1. And Egypt (#35) beat Djibouti (#189) behind four goals (the first four of the match) from Mo Salah.
CONMEBOL: Uruguay defeated WC champions Argentina 2-0, Argentina's first loss of this qualifying campaign. Uruguay got goals from Ronald Araujo (Barca) and Darwin Nunez (Liverpool). And in the night's most emotional match, Luis Diaz scored twice as Colombia came from behind to beat Brazil, 2-1. Brazil has lost twice in a row now and drops to fifth while Colombia moves into third. His recently-freed father was in the stands and visibly overcome with emotion as he scored the goals.
