Day 1 of the second stage of the World Cup Qualifiers was completed Friday (14/9) and in a manner similar to Thursday’s games there were some major upsets in store.
The victory of Ukraine against previously undefeated Spain stands out as one of the day’s surprises while Croatia’s loss at home to Lithuania also can be considered as such given how much important this game was for the hosts. Also, speaking of road wins, Hungary also pulled off a great performance to beat the Netherlands.
When it comes to home teams, Latvia and Turkey let their superior quality do the talking against Slovenia and Montenegro respectively. Such was also the case for Italy vs. Poland.
Let’s take a look at the players who were protagonists for their teams in these results.
