ECQ: Spain and Scotland qualify for Euro 2024

-

 Norway 0 - 1 Spain 

Spain and Scotland have qualified from Group A and will take part in Euro 2024.

With a win in Norway on Sunday, Spain secured a spot at Euro 2024, as well as helping Scotland qualify from Group A.

In the second half, Barcelona midfielder Gavi scored to help the 2008 and 2012 European champions advance to the championships with two games left of qualifying. 

Norway 0 - 1 Spain

Erling Haaland's Norway last appeared at a major tournament in Euro 2000, can now only potentially qualify through play-offs. 

On the night, Spain barely allowed Manchester City striker Haaland a sniff all night long on what turned into a frustrating night for the Norwegians. 

Gavi eventually fired Spain into the lead just after half-time. The midfielder pounced in Norway's area when Mikel Oyarzabal's shot was deflected into his path and gave him a straightforward goal. 

Quick reaction from Norway and Spain

Ronnie from Oslo is unhappy with the fact that Norway haven't finished in the top of the group. He said: "We hardly had a kick against Spain. The rest of the group looked straightforward, and it's annoying that we haven't qualified. We should have beaten Scotland and taken it, at the very least, to a final match decider."

 Jose from Madrid, messaged us the following on Facebook: "Happy that we have qualified for Euro 2024. I'm not sure if we can win the tournament, but you could easily see us progress to the later stages of it. This could be a very interesting summer."

Reaction from Scotland

Scotland missed out on the chance to qualify after losing 2-0 against Spain, but this Spanish victory means they will be joining their recent opponents in Germany. 

Jamie Thompson from Glasgow told us: It is unbelievable to qualify with two games to spare! Now, let's see if we can win the group. That would be a huge achievement for this nation."

Amy from Dundee added: "We were out a bar when the Spanish game finished. All of a sudden, random strangers started hugging each other. I am just glad those flights to Germany have already been booked."

These are all views supported by Claire from Dunfermline: "Steve Clarke deserves every bit of praise he receives for this outstanding achievement. I am not sure whether Germany knows what is coming their way! It will be an amazing party."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches.

Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
