France, Portugal and Belgium are the first participants of the European Championship in 2024, along with the host Germany.

The "Tricolors" beat the Netherlands 2:1 in the derby of Group B in Amsterdam and mathematically ensured their way to the continental competition three rounds before the end.

The same happened to "Selesau" in group J after a 3:2 triumph over Slovakia in Porto, as well as to the "red devils" in group F after a 3:2 victory over Austria in Vienna.

Kylian Mbappe scored both goals for the French in Amsterdam - deftly in the 7th minute after putting in Klaus from Marseilles and very effective in the 53rd to pass Rabio.

Gol defender Feyenoord Hartman in the 83rd minute was not enough for Ronald Koeman's team to avoid defeat. The Dutch fell to third place in Group B with three points less than Greece, which beat the Republic of Ireland in Dublin - 2:0. The Dutch have a match less, but they already have a visit to Athens on Monday, which could be decisive.

A 124. i 125. goal Cristiano Ronaldo in the national team of Portugal were enough to win over Slovakia in Porto - 3:2, and qualify for the European Championship.

It is previous Gonzalo Ramos gave the home team a 1:0 lead, and the Slovaks returned to the match twice in heavy rain until the end, via Hancka i Lobotka, but they could not do more than a minimal defeat.

In the same group J, the victory of Bosnia and Herzegovina against Liechtenstein in Vaduz on the debut of coach Savo Milošević - 2:0, goals Rahmanović i Stevanović in the first half. The "Dragons" have only a theoretical chance to take second place - they have to beat Portugal at home on Monday, and Luxembourg (away) and Slovakia (at home) in November, and hope that the Slovaks do not win both of their remaining matches.
