Feyenoord player Hancko started off during Slovakia’s match against Liechtenstein in group J. Former Feyenoord player Robert Bozenik extended a long ball with his head, after which Hancko opened the score for Slovakia within nine seconds (!) by tapping the ball wide over the goalkeeper . After more than five minutes it was already 3-0 for the Slovaks, after Ondrej Duda and Robert Mak also found the net.

Croatia has done well in the battle for group victory in the European Championship qualifying cycle. The current number six in the world recorded a 1-0 victory over Armenia. Feyenoord player Luka Ivanusec and Ajax player Josip Sutalo had a starting place for the Croats.

Croatia took the lead after fourteen minutes. Andrej Kramaric made it 0-1 on a pass from Manchester City defender Josko Gvardiol. The referee thought it was offside, but the VAR approved the goal. However, it was not easy for the Croats. Although the team of Ivanusec and Sutalo was the better side and hardly encountered any problems, they had to fear an equalizer until the final whistle.

Ivanusec, who started in midfield, left fifteen minutes before the end. Next weekend he will play the home match against Heerenveen with Feyenoord. Sutalo, who will visit FC Twente with Ajax on Sunday, completed the ninety minutes. His teammate at Ajax Borna Sosa remained on the bench for ninety minutes. The match was briefly interrupted after half an hour because a drone with an Armenian flag flew into the stadium.
