The EC qualifying round already started on Thursday.
Portugal claimed an away win against Liechtenstein with a goal from Cristiano Ronaldo. PDO
The last qualifying window for the European Championship in futsin started on Thursday.
In their matches, Hungary and Slovakia secured their place in the final tournament in Germany. Having lost their chance, Sweden suffered a 0-3 shootout loss to Azerbaijan.
Of the 24 final tournament teams, 11 have already been confirmed. The last three places will only be awarded in the further qualification in March, from which Huuhkajat will also apply for their race pass.
A familiar name once again took the shared top spot in the EC qualifying goal exchange, when Cristiano Ronaldo completed Portugal’s winning goal in the Liechtenstein net.
It’s the veteran striker’s 128th international goal, and he now shares the top spot in the power statistics with Belgium Romelu Lukaku’s with. Both have now scored ten goals in the group stage.
At the same time, Ronaldo improved his position in the statistics of the oldest scorer in the European Championship qualification. He overtook Andorra, which was previously in second place Márcio Vieira (38 years and 249 days), because CR7 was already 38 years and 284 days old on Thursday.
However, there is no way he will be number one in the statistics during this qualification. Portugal has already secured its place in the European Championship in Germany, so it will not participate in next spring’s further qualification either.
Also, a record holder Jari Litmanen is still completely in its own category. Kuningas scored in the last international match of his career, when Finland defeated San Marino 8–0 in November 2010.
Litti scored the hardest in the second period. He was 39 years and 270 days old on the day of the match.
Jari Litmanen played his last international match at almost 40 years old. JUSSI ESKOLA
